As part of my whole “Bringing It All Back Home” thing, I’m running a quick test to see which service gets from here to my Twitter account… TwitterFeed or this plugin:

WordPress › WP to Twitter « WordPress Plugins: “WP to Twitter posts a Twitter status update from your WordPress blog using your URL shortening service to provide a link back to your post from Twitter.”

Let’s see who wins…

UPDATE: Well that was quick. Looks like the little app I created with the WP to Twitter plugin is the clear winner…

The plugin requires a little bit of geekery if you want to use it with a custom url shortener domain (like my sams.tc one) via Bit.ly’s Pro service. Basically, you have to set up the app using Twitter’s OAuth service (API and customer keys) and Bit.ly’s (or Supr’s) similar functionality.

However, the speed and customization options are well worth those five minutes in my book given that I’m trying to consolidate as much as possible here and not rely on other services to post updates, pics, etc.

Speaking of… some people have asked why “sams.tc” as the shortened url. Basically, I wanted something with sam in it (short first names are great but not much available) and I thought it would be “cute” and memorable to stand-in for “sam’s twitter content” … sams.tc, get it?

Well, I think it is clever.
