YAY!!! Ok, so now I don’t have to use Twitterfeed which takes up to 30 minutes to update. The feature on WordPress, called Publicize, allows for instant updates to Twitter. I love that! Also, you can edit the text for each tweet or choose not to tweet your posts.

There is a downside though: I can’t find out a way to track clicks through Twitter, but I would give up that feature just for instant updates that are built-in instead of on an external site. Also, the links use http://wp.me for their shortener, and the blog post title isn’t included automatically.

My preference? Still the Built-in Publicize feature.
