I just thought of a novel use of ‘Twitter Tools,’ the nearly ubiquitous plugin for WordPress. That is: setting up a blog network. What one would do is to install the plugin in a seperate directory. Then, the settings would be made such that each posts puts a post on Twitter. The ‘blog network’ would be in the sidebar, and it’s an easy to set up way for like minds to share traffic, cross promote and have fun.
The steps:
1.) Create new Twitter Account (example: GenuineBlogNetwork).
2.) Get some trustworthy people with decent blogs.
3.) Install twitter tools on their blogs.
4.) Throw your favorite Twitter-Tools, make an image.
5.) Have a blog network that is small and controlled.
This is super simple, so if anyone that reads wants me to do this, I’m all about sharing.
The layout of this blog will be done over the weekend. I got tasked with a ton of small projects that are all coming to a close.
Also: I know that it’s a dissapointment that Big Z had tendonitis. But to shoot him? I mean, it’s not like he pulled a Bartman.

That’s a great idea! I have the plugin but haven’t used it. For me the last thing I want is every one of my posts announced on Twitter. I prefer instead to do it manually. Pulling other posts into a sidebar is a great idea!
