The WP-to-Twitter plugin posts a Twitter status update from your WordPress blog using the Cli.gs URL shortening service to provide a link back to your post from Twitter.

New in version 1.3.7:

• Revised interface to take advantage of features added in versions 2.5 and 2.7. You can now drag and drop the WP to Twitter configuration panel in Post and Page authoring pages.
• Fixed bug where post titles were not Tweeted when using the "Press This" bookmarklet
• Security bug fix.

If you have a Cli.gs API key, the shortened URL will also be filed in your Cli.gs account so that you can track statistics for the shortened URL.

The plugin can send a default message for updating or editing posts or pages, but also allows you to write a custom Tweet for your post which says whatever you want. By default, the shortened URL from Cli.gs is appended to the end of your message, so you should keep that in mind when writing your custom Tweet.

Any status update you write which is longer than the available space will automatically be truncated by the plugin. This applies to both the default messages and to your custom messages.

This plugin is based loosely on the Twitter Updater plugin by Jonathan Dingman, which he adapted from a plugin by Victoria Chan. Other contributions by Thor Erik, Bill Berry and Andrea Baccega.
