Well without further-a-do minutes after my first introduction post, I'm here to tell you about my Twitter package for Umbraco.
If you don't know what Twitter is, well it is basically micro-blogging. Think of your Facebook status as microblogs. Twitter is very useful to tell alot of people what you are thinking, doing or whatever you want to say.
See my Twitter page for an idea of what I Tweet about - http://twitter.com/warrenbuckley
I created this package to display my latest tweet on my blog (which is under re-development), I released this on my blog and I got a follower to my twitter page called Nisse Bryngfors who sent me a reply.
@warrenbuckley just tried the twitter package for umbraco.Great!Is there any way to display people you follow, instead of just your own feed?
So I did just that I created a package that allowed you to display your own twitter feed or a feed which is a mixture of your tweets and tweets of other people you follow (friends).
I then released that package on my blog site and Nisse wanted to be able to make the links in the tweets automatically be anchor tags and that the @warrenbuckley text to link the appropriate users twitter page.
So without further a do earlier today I released v1.2.0 of this package on my blog which includes instructions.
Additionally here is a useful post I made earlier in the year on how to synchronise your twitter and Facebook using MSN Messenger.
