• Tweet Old Post WordPress Plugin

    February 23, 2010

    Here’s the thing I hate most about blogging – it’s all about the now.  Doesn’t matter how much time you invested or how much thought you put into that post or series birthed by your creative genius – your precious content is forgotten and buried faster than Superman tweeting on speed!

    Enter Tweet Old Post.

    I stumbled upon this brilliant wordpress plugin recently that resurrects that old content and brings it into the land of the living.

    You select an interval (I’ve chosen twice a day), and BOOM – your old content, selected at random based on the criteria you choose, is tweeted.  It even comes packaged with the ability to choose a link shortening service.

    One downside – as I have figured out since beginning to use this plugin.  If your readers/followers don’t pay attention, they will think that you’re posting new content and ask you if you’re alright after your car wreck (that happened 4 years ago!).

    So, my fellow bloggers, hop on over to here and tell Ajay thanks for writing a plugin that helps us repopulate the interwebs with the precious fruit of our labors.

    When I started my new blog I didn't originally set it up as a "JOURNAL" or "BLOG". This gave me the freedom to list each post separately and I thought I was achieving this same concept of erasing NEW from OLD. I was wrong of course and was limited in other elements that are crucial in any Blog format…so I reluctantly changed the format.

    This should be really helpful with my original hesitancy to start a blog again. That is of course if I can figure out how to configure it with my publisher.

    Thanks JR and Ajay.

    Hey JR just came across this post. The feature that you mentioned can be accomplished by the option "Categories to Omit from tweets:" hope that helps if you still think there should be some modification please let me know it will be great to extend the plugins functionality

    Thanks Ajay, I think you've done a great job! The issue is more with people who don't pay close attention to that they're reading, not the plugin itself.
