This plugin will send messages to your Twitter account.

Note: this plugin is discontinued and as others have made versions for EE2, I won’t be updating it.

This plugin will send messages to your Twitter.com account. I originally made this to set up an automated Twitter feed for my site Flashmagazine. Just seconds after I publish a new story, my subscribers can be notified of it. You could use this for a lot of other purposes as well, so feel free to email me with other use cases.

The plugin receives a string of text and send it to Twitter. To prevent this from happening the script will write the text string to a file. Before sending another Tweet, the script will check against the contents of the text file on the server. This is a little “expensive” but should only be a performance hit on huge sites.
