We dig Twitter over here at WordPress.com (check us out at @wordpressdotcom). With the launch of our newest Publicize feature, we dig it even more since you can now tweet your WordPress.com posts automatically.
You can stick with the default, automatically generated tweet, or customize it to your heart’s content.
The feature can be enabled from your Dashboard → My Blogs admin page. Once you enable it, you’ll be directed through an authorization procedure to confirm that you want to connect your WordPress.com blog and your Twitter account.
Just like the Yahoo! Updates Publicize feature, these connections are per blog and per user, so those of you with several blogs can choose which ones to connect, and those of you with multiple authors on one blog can each hook up your Twitter accounts separately.
More details can be found on the Publicize support page.

neat! Will give that a try!
just awesome thanks
Fantastic
This is fantastic…except that it doesn’t Tweet when you schedule a post. Can this be organised? I schedule most of my posts, so having this only work when you publish immediately totally ruins the usefulness of this feature. I’d make this comment on support…but support is down.
Awesome work WP. I just started my blog, and would like to get out there more, so this really will help me. Keep up the good work.
Thank you !! You all are on top of it!
best idea!!!
tr. ottima idea!!!
but it must be traslated in italian language!!!
tr. ma deve essere tradotto in lingua italiana!!!
Thanks! Now it works with “normal posting” of P2.
Great idea. I find it useful.
thanks for saving me a few seconds everyday
What’s twitter?
wonderfull
It’s very useful. Thank you.
It doesn’t appear to work for Scheduled Posts. I just made a scheduled post and the Tweet didn’t show up.
Also, any explanation on why that preceding text can’t be removed?
Any chance for this publicize feature to roll back into wordpress.org as well? 🙂
We will be releasing WordPress.org plugins.
i seem to be having some problems with scheduled posts – I usually schedule posts for the week ahead, but the twitter publicise feature doesn’t seem to work unless I go in and manually update post? Any advice?
We have a bug with publicize and scheduled posts right now.
Awesome!
Awesome!
I knew there was a reason to luv you folks! Great addition… thanks!
I’ve tried to post-date my post, so it will post to WP a few hours later and post to Twitter. WP doesn’t seem to send out the tweet unless I go back later and manually push it out. Should it tweet at the time of posting?
There is currently a bug with publicize working for scheduled posts.
Good work! just trying now.
Excellent! Thanks for making the process easier!
cool.awesome and amazing
just tried it out. works great!
That was a needed feature, thanks and greetings
hai.thank you all
I use it to tell everyone about my guitar lessons in nottingham uk
good feature…
fantastic – thats a great idea
tht would b very nice..
Excellent. Now I just have to find something interesting to write so I can test it…
sweet feature, seconds count!
Thanks! ;D
Thanks a lot for this. 😀 It works well on New Posts, it sends the tweet like it’s supposed to.
BUT..
it doesn’t send tweets when a scheduled post is published. It would be great if that’ll work too. 🙂
We’re working on a fix for this issue. Thanks!
will it be another titanic?
Perfect! I was just wishing I could do this!
i’m coming
this is a v.good feature – 2 things that would be useful as you work on it in future:
Fix the known issue about scheduled posts not working properly https://wordpress.com/forums/topic/no-tweets-on-scheduled-posts?replies=3#post-392076
Ability to set the default text that goes out with the tweet – at the moment it says “posted to WP.com” would be nicer if I could make that the base domain for my blog, especially as I use a client side app (MS LiveWriter) to post rather than the WP web UI
There appears to be a bug with using this feature with scheduled posts. My posts show up on my blog but the tweet doesn’t go out. When I edit the post, I find the checkbox blank. Once I check it (again), the tweet goes out.
Thanks, Vivian. This is a known issue. We’re working on it! 🙂
I should look that site up again.
We want to have all posts by different authors tweet to the same twitter feed, but I’m pretty sure that does not work. I think twitter will only authorize one person at a time. Am I wrong? Did you guys test this?
I think this feature has a lot of potential, but I agree with the wish that customizing the text could be saved.
I also wish that an option could be set to not tweet every post by default, but choose TO send the tweet. My main blog is for work (a church) and includes updates for every little ministry and program plus community announcements, but only want announcements with the broadest audience to be tweeted. I already accidentally sent one tweet I didn’t mean to… so have turned it off again for now.
That’s great. I have been looking for this feature for a long time.
I agree with Gernit above, this is nice but I would really love a “Tweet this post” function for readers to spread the love as well.
Very Nice man
Nifty
Wow, awesome! I like Twitter, and I’m glad I can combine it even more with WP! Keep up the good work, WP.
I lovelovelove this. Saves me a lot of trouble tweeting it all the time! 😉
Excellent! Great idea. I Fine, very nice!
Thanks! thanks! thanks!
Cool!
You guys rock. 🙂 (Yeah, I know – I’m dating myself)
Great work …just started to twit.
Great Idea!! this helps us connect to larger audience with least redundant postings (copy paste actually) and single interface to deal with two great things. Sure people will love this..
So cool, must see if it applies to Blogger….hope that isn’t a bad word here.
I think it’s great, but does it work when posting an entry via Flock? I love that browser so much. It did update my Facebook, but it did not update my Twitter even if the publicize feature is on.
Twitterconnection is down?
Yes, Twitter was down earlier today. See http://status.twitter.com/
Just tried it out and…..IT DOESN’T WORK!
Twitter’s service was down for awhile earlier today. Try again now.
Love it! ❤
Great. I’ll follow.
sweet
Too tight.
Me like=D
Good addition, I’m looking for it. thanks
Thank you. This automation make me so happy to try it
