Here’s an overview of the plugin from the author:

Twitter Tools integrates with Twitter by giving you the following functionality:

* Archive your Twitter tweets (downloaded every 10 minutes)

* Create a blog post from each of your tweets

* Create a daily or weekly digest post of your tweets

* Create a tweet on Twitter whenever you post in your blog, with a link to the blog post

* Post a tweet from your sidebar

* Post a tweet from the WP Admin screens

* Pass your tweets along to another service (via API hook)

The integration is fairly simple and straightforward. If you need assistance you can contact WP-TravelDesign for assistance.

After installation If you’re comfortable with making a quick replacement of code, a couple of hacks that improve the quality of your posts==>tweets.

First, set your twitter tools settings to automatically create a tweet from a blog post. Then edit the /wp-content/plugins/twitter-toools.php file starting at line 171 as follows:

Change
$this->tweet_prefix = ‘New Blog Post’;

to

$this->tweet_prefix = ‘CruiseDeal’;

Or something else that more accurately reflects an intro.

and change

$this->tweet_format = $this->tweet_prefix.’: %s %s’;

to

$this->tweet_format = $this->tweet_prefix.’: %s %s #cruise #travel’;

to include the “Hash Tags” that can be searched in Twitter. Upload and test.
