So you love to blog, and you love to use Twitter. Now it’s time to combine the two together to increase your blog traffic and readership. With Tweet My Blog there is no more dealing with third-party sites that constantly don’t seem to work. Tweet My Blog is a plugin for WordPress that you just install like any other plugin. In the settings you just add your Twitter name and password and click save. Then when you publish your blog post it publishes immediately to Twitter!

Awesome. I’m probably going to install it later.

Alli – it’s pretty cool, and you only get the bar on top when you click through from Twitter. It doesn’t load on your blog all the time.

I might be in the minority here, but I hate the Tweets that come through with just a link to people’s blog posts.

Amy – it’s not for everyone, but I’ve found myself reading blogs just that way. I watch for new blog post tweets and go read.

Alli – I ended up removing this from my blog, and went to a simple WP plugin that just tweets when I post a new post. This particular one had too much stuff in it that I didn’t want to mess with.

I have noticed that a lot of bloggers who were initially enthusiastic about “Tweet My Blog” have later uninstalled it.
I didn’t like it because I don’t like how aggressively it brands itself.
Also, I think the affiliate program was extremely poor. The oto just did not complement the plugin at all and I imagine it converted very poorly. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the oto product itself and had bought it when it was first offered as a WSO. But it was not something of interest to the majority of bloggers and it was expensive out of proportion to the plugin which is free. It was just a poor fit as an oto.
If the oto had been more appropriate I might not have minded the aggressive self promotion of the plugin.
Actually the only thing I really like about “Tweet My Blog” is the name! Too bad such a cute name was wasted on such an unappealing product.

Margaret – I agree about the name! It does seem kind of “wasted” now
