A few months ago we solicited feedback on features people would like to see in future versions of WordTwit. It’s been a while, but we finally managed to sneak one in. As of WordTwit 2.3.0, there’s now a management pane on the write/edit post page that shows the Tweet status. If a Tweet has been published for that entry, it’ll be indicated there. In addition, there’s also a new button that allows a person to Retweet an entry that has already been Tweeted, or to force a Tweet on an old entry that has already been published. And wait, one more thing! There’s a real-time preview of what the Tweet will look like when it’s published, that way you’ll know exactly what’s going out the door if you press any of the magic buttons.

Now that the management pane is in place and hooked up, we’ll be adding a few new features (such as hash tags) there in the future. In addition, we’ve also updated the documentation for WordTwit 2.3.0 to provide help with installations on WordPress MU.

If you install WordTwit 2.3.0 and run into any problems, please drop a comment and let us know. Happy Tweeting!

Update – we just pushed out a minor update, 2.3.1. It has all the goodies mentioned above, plus support for the is.gd url shortener and also the ability to view the number of times a bit.ly linked has been clicked (if you use bit.ly).
