We’ve been playing with some fun concepts here on the Unit Verse and we needed some new tools for WordPress to get the job done. Staying true to fashion, we’ve released two new plugins over at Unit Labs!
UniTweets
UniTweets is a plugin for WordPress 2.8+ that allows you to integrate one or many Twitter accounts into your WordPress blog. You can have UniTweets save all tweets from an account, or optionally filter tweets by an exact match string; typically this string is a hash-tag. The number of accounts UniTweets checks is unlimited and each account can have its own filter.
UniTweets uses the built-in WordPress cron feature to automate posts, which means your tweets will be checked about once an hour.
Unit.licio.us
Unit.licio.us works along the same principles as UniTweets except that it integrates with Del.icio.us instead of Twitter. As many Del.icio.us accounts as desired can be monitored, and the plugin will add bookmarks as blog posts about once an hour. At present, Unit.licio.us does not have any method for filtering out bookmarks. We plan to add tag filtering at a later date.
Both plugins are totally free and should be up on the WordPres Plugin Repository in the near future. For now they can found exlusively at Unit Labs.
