I’m fairly new Twitter myself… at least as an active user. I’ve known about Twitter for some time now and as you may already know Twitter is the hottest topic in the Social Media Sphere. So instead of regurgitating what’s already been said 10 times over I figure it would just be easier and more practical to share the articles I read to help get me on my Tweeting way.

So a great place to start with learning about Twitter. I suggest the following article by Tim Andren.. the Definitive Guide to Twitter. Its a great breakdown of what it is, what its used for and why. Along these same lines is another tutorial.. the Beginners Guide to Using Twitter.

Once you get the hang of what Twitter is all about and you have now started Twittering on your own.. this useful guide to ReTweets via Mashable is a quick and easy read and will take your Twitter to the next level.

So now we’ve got the basics down… you’re tweeting, retweeting. Now its time to link your website &/or blog to Twitter. Via Smashing Magazine… 15 Useful Twitter Hacks and Plugins for WordPress. If you are just looking for a plugin recommendation for your WordPress Blog…  We use Twitter Tools and really like it.

Hope this helps… enjoy!

This is a very nice little plugin… Twitter Tools by Alex King.

My friend Jamie suggested I check out Twitter Tools so I did.  So far the only feature I have tried / tested was “Creating a Tweet from a Blog Post.”

Very cool.  I like that there is a check box in the post editor that allows to pick and chose which posts get published as tweets.

Other features include the inverse… creating blog posts from tweets. The Twitter Tools plugin can  also create Tweet Digests… daily & weekly.

I myself am just starting to dive into the Twitter Platform.. but rest assured that Twitter isn’t going away, so I better start figuring things out now and so should you.

I’m testing twitter tools by Alex King a WordPress Plugin to connect your WordPress blog with your Twitter account.

I just ran a test from my personal blog www.sammyrusso.com but it doesn’t seem to be working so I though I try another test from a different blog. No tweet was posted to my Twitter acocunt from my blog post which is what is supposed to happen.
