WordPress and Twitter Integration
March 18th, 2009 | 
Author: Twitter is the new tool of choice for many bloggers in 2009 and those who failed to jump on the “traffic train” that departed in 2006 and by the end of 2008 gained a huge momentum are joining now. In fact numbers of new Twitter users grows at such a fast pace we are seeing a whole new group of experts emerging – Twitter Experts.
I find it actually quite funny how people attempt and often succeed on earning money by teaching people what should be natural interaction and participation in social networks. Problem is – people guided by need fuel that ability and create the market open for some unscrupulous people. Spam and “hype marketing” become more and more norm and leads to huge number of people getting banned.
What I want to accomplish in this article are 2 things:
- Help you avoid been banned from a network that can be superb networking tool by following bad advice
- Help you figure out how to make your WordPress blog a viral tool ready for 2 way interaction with Twitter.
Twitter is social network. This of it as a group of people gathered to talk in one big place. You can find the group that talks about something you are interested in and join. Participate and benefit from it but if you attempt to game it – expect swift and merciless action. People of Twitter are not dummies and of someone teaching you some “shortcut” to benefit faster just think about it – would you do it face-to-face? If answer is not – avoid it!
And if you have a WordPress blog your options to immerse yourself into the twitter are truly unlimited. WordPress developers seem to come out with new plugin designed to work with your blog and enhance its functionality and integration in some fashion each and every day. Popularity has its benefits and in this case popularity of the Twitter leads to more options for you.
Word of caution: Not all plugins created equal! Some tend to overload your host and can cause you hosting account to be shut down by admins. Some might have a security issues and can lead to your blog been exposed and some are too raw and released before fully tested for functionality and compatibility and will break your blog!
Just be aware of the issues above and enjoy the new and enhanced interaction of your Twitterfic WordPress Blog.
