12.16.09 Simultaneously Post On Twitter And Facebook Via Mobile Device By Jordan McCollum Let's face it: nobody has the attention span to read more than 140 characters anymore. So WordPress's latest effort-mobile microblogging cross posting to a regular blog-totally makes sense. Actually, it's really not a bad shot. Based on an API interface, you can now cross post Twitter updates (with geotagging) to your WordPress account. And really, if all you have to say fits in 140 characters, that's pretty cool. Of course, this also shows that WordPress's tech team isn't too worried about Twitter. And honestly, why should they be? Yeah, Twitter is popular and gets a lot of hype, but really, it serves a different purpose than full-sized blogs. Twitter is great for one-on-one, fast conversations (like public IM, I guess), and for interacting. It's less great for . . . well, anything that takes more than 140 characters, for one. Interestingly, this capability also lets you read WordPress blogs you're following-through Twitter. Of course, this uses teasers with links, rather than trying to abbreviate 400-word essays, tutorials or rants into 140 characters. All you need to do this is a Twitter client with custom API support. The official announcement from Matt Mullenweg includes a walkthrough on setting it up on the mobile client Tweetie 2. What do you think? Should WordPress be more worried about competition from Twitter, or is it better to go the all-inclusive route?
