WordTwit Feature Requests
We’ve had our nose to the grindstone for a few months here, and haven’t had much time to update any of our plugins. But rest assured we’re still committed to them, and will be updating most of them shortly.
With that in mind, we wanted to see if there were any feature requests for WordTwit. We’ll probably add official WPMU support to it shortly, as well as per-user Twitter information, so each person’s Tweets can go to a different stream. Another feature we might add is the ability to Tweet to multiple accounts at the same time, for sites with multiple streams.
If you have any great ideas for features, just drop a comment here. Thanks.

Something in the admin to allow manual pushes to Twitter for when it doesn’t happen automatically.
-
Maybe a simple character “countdown” in the title field form so we can know if the title will show up full on twitter. (Might be a bit hard with custom text…nevertheless.)

Good idea- we’ve also talked about having a check in place to see if the tweet actual got through, since Twitter is so ‘flighty’ ;p

I love this plugin.
I have my WordTwit plugin configured to use my own domain. It would be great if there were a way to create a browser bookmark that would allow me to use the plugin to shorten other URLs I want to shorten so that I don’t have to copy the URL and go back to the admin page to shorten an external URL.
I love the stats, but it would also be great if you could somehow show a time and date when each of those clicks were done.
Thanks,
Del

Integration with Statpress… so traffic through Twitter is shown with all other hits. Can’t really tell if it is today, and if so, it is not very clear. If this is not “possible”, it would be nice to have a dashboard presentation of the existing stats, making them more available.
In addition to WordTwit I also use TweetThis.

I’d like the option of having the URL shortener just be the post id from Wordpress. For example, “http://sterlinganderson.net/?p=483″. This way you don’t have anything to maintain or outside service to worry about. That link will always work.
-
Would be nice to specify my bitly API key to use on url shortening.
-
I think it would be very useful to be able add hash tags to specific blog post categories.

Thanks for all the great suggestions!
@Coderanger – You can do that today already I believe.
@David – hash tags are definitely coming.
-
How about those hash tags?
-
-
How about the option to schedule a delay before a new post is tweeted?
-
Not sire if this is supported or not but can the plugin tweet the post on the publishing time not the posting time for scheduled posts?
say I write a pot and set it to be published after 3 days I don’t want to tweet it now but after 3 days when it’s actually published.
It is possible?
-
I’d like the option to track tweets in the manner of auto creation of appended query string like:
?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=The+Invisible+Browser
The Tracked Tweets plugin does this, but it doesnt use ow.ly
Cheers,
David

This plugin would be perfect if it had tr.im support.
Of all the URL shorteners I’ve used, tr.im is my favourite as it just has the most features.
-
Would be nice to have a little more transparency and/or tools for custom URLs. This would include:
• preview – “your short URL looks like”
• work with unique folder structures – /blog/ or /wp/2009/10/
• custom strings – like bit.ly offers (http://bit.ly/u2live)
• custom code prefixes – add “~” to all short URL codes: http://me.com/~je5 instead of http://me.com/je5thnx =)

@Ahmed – WordTwit already does that (post a tweet when article is published, not when it’s created).
