Wordpress and Twitter

Just came across Twitter - for those who don’t know it is a microblog community that encourages people to share all pretty boring and extremely uninteresting events in their life with the whole world at a terrifying frequency. There you will have a chance to learn about digestion problems of people you would never want to meet in real life and intimate details of sexual life of pre-adolescent teenagers. Overall it’s an exiting Web 2.0 resource asking you just one simple question: What are you doing?. You are then urged to provide a quick answer as often as you can and as fast as you can possibly type. You can even post their with your mobile phone or IM client. Not surprising that most messages there vary within a rather limited range from reading such-and-such book or watching such-and-such movie to writing this very Twitter post. Remember you need to be short there is 140 words limit. A perfect abode for a community of compulsive characters with limited imagination, short attention span combined with attention deficit syndrome and good typing skills.
Believe me, I’d never mention anything like this to you, my reader out of sheer respect if it was not for a great Wordpress plugin by Alex King called Twitter Tools. Admittedly Twitter has a good API and the plugin is nearly perfect. It allows posting your twits as they are called to your Wordpress blog (I must confess I opted out, fortunately it’s flexible enough for this). In addition it makes possible posting your normal blog entries as twits which is something. From SEO point it’s a definite advantage that should be used in bSEO by default. So my advice – if you have a Wordpress blog get a twitter account, set up this plugin and on you go gaining more incoming links and additional exposure with no additional effort. I do and here is LZZR at Twitter for you.
There is of course a mild risk of heaving to deal with duplicate content issues but we aren’t afraid, are we?
