Tweet on publish for Umbraco – available to download

Tags: Technology Internet
Author: Darren Ferguson

I've released a new version of my Umbraco package that sends tweets when you publish a content node. The package is available to download from my Umbraco packages page or the our.umbraco project page.

Features include:

  • Complete rewrite of my previous twitter package
  • Configure multiple twitter accounts.
  • Send multiple tweets per publish.
  • Ensure documents are not tweeted on re-publish.
  • Support direct messages and @mentions
  • Send different tweets per document type.
  • Filter tweets by domain.
  • Includes full PDF manual.

So why is this useful? I use the package to publicise blog posts and to send me a direct message when a comment is left on my blog so that I can quickly check whether or not it is a spam comment and act accordingly.

I'll provide a demonstration screen-cast shortly. In the meantime I'd love to hear your feedback.
