How to post to WP and Twitter at once
-
Hello,
Is there any way to post on the WP blog and at the same time advertise this post on Twitter? I’d like to be able to easily announce my entire WP post on Twitter as well. How to do it? What is the efficient way?Thanks in advance,

There’s no way to automatically post from WP.com to Twitter; the easiest way is to add social bookmarks to your new Post and then use it to tweet it to your Twitter account.
AddtoAny is especially easy if you are using a recent browser that allows bookmarklets. http://teckline.wordpress.com/2009/07/25/new-social-bookmark-solution-for-wordpress-com-blogs/

Well, I use twitterfeed.com
The posting is not immediate, the shortest interval is every 30 minutes.
Not a perfect solutions, but heck, it’s a pretty non-hassle workaround.
Hope this helps.

I find that it’s easy to pick out the automated posts to Twitter, and would be VERY surprised if they had anywhere near as high a clickthrough rate as original posts. It only takes a second to open the other window and post “New post on Whatever, Sexalicious Pix of Margaret Thatcher!” or whatever it is. The addition of the original material is what makes it interesting: remember, it’s a headline, a tease, a DRAW. It’s not just a robot blurb on Twitter, otherwise why would anyone care.

I agree raincoaster. Especially when you just grab the WP short URL. It saves me the trip to tinyurl.
I use twitterfeed but agree that the blurb doesn’t seem appealing as an original blurb.
