Sorry for anyone who has tried recently but my feed has been broken for quite a while.

Thanks to @EdWords and all who pointed it out to me. I have now fixed the issue so its back up and running.

The issue itself was caused by the development version of my tweetmypost plugin. I hope it hasnt affected the released version but please check your feed if you are using it.

Anyhoo – no excuses now

Just stumbled across (literally) a blog that I recognised…

“Holy cow thats mine!”

Its from back in the day when I was creating lots of blogs for niche affiliate offers

I think going through the contents in moderation may be a bit of a task too far!

Lesson here – keep better records of where you leave your sites

Joost (@jdevalk) just launched a simple but very handy little plugin called
twitter link that converts @username mentions in posts to links to Twitter.

Simple and well made as ever

UPDATE: Looks like it needs a little work – no spaces after the @ links and the list didnt get parsed.

So @seoidiot is easier for you to follow. Id also suggest you follow some of these guys like me: -

@alcarlton
@chrisgarret
@juliejoyce
@storyspinner
@deanhunt08
@niallharbison
@simonheseltine
@coplandmj
@chrisgarrett
@mashable
@rebeccakelley
@scottmonty

and more (the above are just whats showing on my Tweetdeck for the last 5 minutes)

Oh and give @jdevalk a follow too, its great advertising for my cartoon

I did that

Just noticed this tweet on twitter that seemed a little odd to me.

This tweet appeared saying “We wrote something new today…”
I think this is from the excellent wordpress to twitter plugin but I cant see any mention of them mentioning me on that site?

So I had a poke around and I am confused…

They dont seem to mention me anywhere, I thought perhaps it was a scraper being bold but I cant see that anywhere and if they had I would expect to see something here

So perhaps its just a way of attracting attention on twitter by mentioning sites that may appear in peoples searches in the hope of putting your site in front of peoples eyes.

If it is it seems odd that they would use my site

Started using the Wordpress to Twitter plugin recommended to me by Pierre from Cli.gs and I am impressed!

Basically what the plugin does is whenever you create or edit a post on your blog it automatically posts an announcement on Twitter using the handy cli.gs shortening service.

Simple but effective as you can see

Heres it showing up (I am using Tweetdeck) seconds after I published my last post

Very simple and easy and one less thing for me to think about.

I am thinking of doing a roundup of Twitter tools as well as releasing some of the custom coded tools I have created for it, interested?
