Automagically Post to Facebook and Twitter

magic_hat_kzmrKinda cool.  I found a couple of wordpress plugins that update my facebook profile as well as my new twitter account with just one post from my wordpress blog.

Lazy? Yes, but its really easy to update 3 different places all at once.

Here is the info if you would like to do the same:

WordPress to Facebook

WordBook
This plugin allows you to cross-post your blog posts to your Facebook Wall. Your Facebook “Boxes” tab will show your most recent blog posts.

(you will also have to allow this in facebook with an application)

WordPress to Twitter

Twitter Updater
The Twitter Updater automatically sends a Twitter status update to your Twitter account when you create, publish, or edit your WordPress post. You can specify the text for the updates, and also have the option to turn the auto update on/off for the different post actions in the admin panel.

Thats it. Just install the plugins into your wordpress admin and post away.  FYI, the Twitter Updater settings in the latest 2.7.1 version of wordpress can be found under the “Tools” tab…took me a bit to find it.
