Here’s a cool Wordpress plugin for Twitter fans. It’s called Twitterdoodle. (created at The Lessnau Lounge).
Here’s how it works. You select a keyword phrase and Summize will pull and autopost the tweets to your blog daily, weekly or as they happen. Here’s a twitterdoodle post I just set up.
Download the plugin here and activate it from your wordpress plug in directory. Then set it up as follows:
1. Go to WordPress settings (or Options), and select the Twitterdoodle category.
2. Set the general Options that will be applied to all TwitterDoodle posts.
3. Set up up your auto posts based on keyword, keywords, or keyword phrase.
4. Pick the category for the TwitterDoodle posts.
5. Select the interval or timing of when keyword posts go up automatically.
6. Select whether or not you want the TwitterDoodle post to appear on the front page of your blog or only in the category.Once uploaded, activate the plugin.
Done. OK, off to twitter this post.
Update: John Lessnau says a Twitterdoodle widget is coming soon.

Comment from Steve:
What a great new tool! Thank you so much for posting this! I have one question though. Is the data from this tool actually accurate? Its a great idea anyway, thanks for the great post.
I’m confused as to which way this thing works. Does it aggregate twitters to your blog or other people blogging on your keywords to Twitter? What’s a simple home stager to do these days? So much tech to keep up with. Thanks for introducing this concept. I’m off to have a play and see if I can work it out.
Yes, it aggregates twitters to your blog. You determine the keywords and the frequency of posting– it will post the tweets automatically. You can of course, edit or delete them.
Brilliant! I of course, can’t get it to work, and have had to email tech support!!
Honestly!!
Hi all great information here and good thread to comment on.
I am an adict to training and really want to get to my best this year!
Can I ask though - how did you get this picked up and into google news?
Very impressive that this blog is syndicated through Google and is it something that is just up to Google or you actively created?
Obviously this is a popular blog with great data so well done on your seo success..
Hi Street-fights. Good luck with your training.
I do not know how it got into Google Reader– I did nothing to get it there.
I am not a huge twitter user, but for those that blog and use twitter, twitterdoodle seems like a great way to keep people updated on whats going on. Twitterdoodle would help me set up a video chat with my friends by telling them when I will be there.
I can’t wait for the widget.
Hi every one,
I am glad to write a question here, I really more confusion with plugin and Simple Disclaimer. Can any one help me to clear my doubt, thank you very much.
Good blog.
