Wordpress + Twitter question - GoFuckYourself.com

PornMD · 12-16-2009, 03:48 AM

Is there a plugin that helps create a button whereby you can have people essentially autotweet a message of your choice when they click it? (i.e. on a contest page something like "Just entered such-n-such contest: *link*") My brain is fried tonight and I'm sure there's an easy way to do this as a one-off vs. something attached to every post like a "Tweet This". May not even be hard to code it or get the code for it generated somewhere vs. using a WP plugin, just don't know where to look. Thanks in advance for anyone who can help!

Sociable has a twit this button, but I don't think you get to pick what autofills in twitter except the url of the article.

might be something out there, most of the plugins just retweet or tweet the article, no entering msgs, you would have to be logged in to do this. (autotweet)

Or just have those people enter in their login information on your page.

Thanks for responses, bump to see if anyone knows. I've seen some internet marketers do it but with a field on the site basically showing the Tweet that will be sent out. This was a long time ago and I have to believe things have advanced beyond that point. :P Even still, I wouldn't even mind that I guess, just so long as clicking a button will take them through the spiel of Twitter approving its access and then completing the tweet.

Any good programmer should be able to do this in a couple hours. Twitter has the most amazing Open API. Seriously.
