Twitter doesn’t allow anymore the basic authentication so this had to be modified also in TweeU. So for all of you who use TweeU, I suggest to update the plugin or if you wanna start using it, you can find TweeU at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tweeu/ or http://www.robertalks.com/tweeu/.

The installation or update is relatively simple and guided by WordPress, so there shouldn’t be any problems with it. One thing you may have problems with is when you allowed the plugin in Twitter and you are redirected to the WordPress plugin page it may give you an error as it failed to authenticate. At this point you will only need to refresh/reload the plugin page and everything will work fine. I’m still not sure why is this happening, but as soon as I find the issue/problem, I will fix it.

So, have fun with it, get on blogging and twitting

To be honest I don’t like that much bit.ly and because of that I created buh.bz, which uses PHurl code with some modification, of course. Now the cool part is that this new plugin of mine is also included on wordpress.org at plugins. So anyone who uses WordPress and wants TweeU, can easily install TweeU from their WordPress admin console.

Another cool part with this plugin and buh.bz service is that you do not need an account to create a short URL. It’s a simple URL shortening service which, well only makes short URLs. The idea of using for everything an account, like Twitter, bit.ly and so on, it’s not quite the easy thing to manage, especially now a days most of us have tons of accounts on different web sites and I’m sure we don’t need an account also on a URL shortening page/web site too.

If you wanna download this plugin, the please go to http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tweeu/ or to the official web site http://www.robertalks.com/tweeu/.

Please use it and rate the plugin on wordpress.org.
