Tweet Old Post Plugin

Tweet Old Post Plugin

Recently I discovered a WordPress Plugin that allows you to tweet your old posts. I have recently implemented it in some of my blogs and it works like a charm. Now, a lot of you might have various thoughts on this. You might think that retweeting old post is like spamming but that’s where you are wrong. If you believe that your old posts can bring value to your blog and are worth tweeting, then this plugin can come in handy.

We all gain new followers everyday on twitter who are not aware of our previous posts and this plugin can bring in some good discussion back to those posts.

So How Does It Work?

You have to simply set up your twitter username and password and bingo!! Once you have successfully activated the plugin, you will be given several options to configure the plugin.

4 Awesome Features of this Plugin

1. Schedule Your Tweets: This is simply great; this plugin helps you to schedule your tweets so you can set it up at random times. This allows your old posts to be tweeted whenever you want and also how often you want.

2. URL Shortening: You don’t have to manually shorten your blog posts. This plugin will automatically do that for you to fit in the 140 characters.

3. Filter Categories: This plugin also allows you to filter the categories from which you want to pull out posts and tweet. You can set the maximum age of a post to be eligible for tweet

4. Add Hashtags: You can add specific hashtags to each of your posts if you want to. Hashtags can really help you in various ways.

Verdict

This is a great wordpress plugin which was last updated on 2010-2-15 and is compatible with the latest wordpress version 2.9.2.

Twitter is the latest “it” thing in the world of social media. It is easy to use and pretty addictive. However, a lot of people are going about building their following the wrong way… are you?

Thanks for adding the points. Are you the creator or the developer of the plugin? Since you said you requested feedback for it..

You are right about the following thing. People use a lot of weird tools to mass follow and get banned. One of my mate tried that out and as we say, we learn from experiences. However, if you follow several people from your same niche and limit to 50 a day, it should be fine
