## Description

TweetPost is a multiuser plugin which allows wordpress publishers to automatically
tweet their new
 posts to their Twitter account. Tweets consist of a message (“New
post from @user”) including a reference to the author’s Twitter name, the title 
of the post, and a shortened link to the post from bit.ly or su.pr.

It can also be used to add Twitter’s new Tweet Button to your posts.

Currently, the TweetPost consists of the following features.

 * Compatible with Twitter’s OAuth API
 * Connect a “global” Twitter account to post
 * Specify a Bit.ly or Su.pr login and API key to associate with the site
 * Adds a “Twitter” property to user details, so users can manage their own Twitter
   name
 * Automatically submits the permalink to bit.ly and adds that to the tweet
 * Adds a reference to the author’s Twitter account in the tweet
 * Fits the tweet into Twitter’s 140-character limit.
 * Adds a Tweet button to posts
 * Button can be floated left or right

## FAQ

  Do I have to register my blog with Twitter?

Yes. Due to details of Twitter’s implementation of the OAuth protocol, it is necessary
to register your blog as a Twitter API consumer application. It’s silly, but fortunately
it’s not difficult to do.
