My First Wordpress Plugin: Tracked Tweets
I’ve been spending some time making a wordpress plugin that tweets when you make a wordpress post. I think it has a few new features that other plugins do not.
The key feature is automated insertion of Google Analytics tracking codes into the post link. The source and medium are able to be defined, the campaign is set as the title of the post.
In the future I plan to add an option to insert hashtags on a per tweet basis.
Early testing version is available here, let me know what you think. I am waiting for approval into the plugins directory.

hello
Very fine plugin but I have a problem with.
When I publish a post with blogdesk (desktop blog publisher)this publin don´t work.
I have added this to my issues list, keep an eye on the changelog for when it is fixed.
Hi Jack, will it work when I publish using Windows Live Writer?
Hi Joseph, I don’t think so, as it works with the “New Post” page in Wordpress. I would be interested to know if it does work though
Hello Jack,
just installed your nice twitter plugin and did some modification to trim message length if needed.
If you’re interested, I can send you the code.
Roughly it trims the title argument (obviously the longest one) on ly if needed, so that the full message doesn’t exceed 140 chars.
Hey Lionel, that sounds great, thanks! I’ve just sent you an email.
It seems not to work with the “Press This” posts either. But I’m probably liking it too much to worry about that itself.
Hi Geoff, I’m not sure I understand what you mean – are you talking about quickpress? Or an external tool?
If you want to add details to http://trackedtweets.uservoice.com/pages/general I will get to it eventually
