Easy WordPress Long Tweets is a great plugin that gives your the power to create tweets longer than 140 characters directly into your WordPress website.
How does it work ?
You simply create a Tweet, as long as you want, as if you were creating a normal WordPress post, and then, when you publish it, the post is automatically sent to Twitter, it’s shortened and a link is added so that your followers can read the rest of the post on your website.
That’s a great way to invite your followers to come more often on your website, to make your audience and your stats grow very fast !
It’s also a great method to provide support on your website without any other heavy plugins!
The long tweets are wordpress custom posts type, so there’s no extra SQL table created, and the whole plugin uses the latest WordPress APIs.
Insert video, image, flash animation and more !
As the long tweets content is stored within your wordpress install, you can insert any type of content: audio files, videos, youtube, vimeo, images…
You can easily Schedule your long tweets using the default WordPress scheduling system, just write your long tweets, choose a publication date and tata… ! The magic appears !
And to last, you can use your long tweets to improve your SEO on search engines! You can include your long tweets into your feeds, into your sitemap, into an archive page etc etc…. in one word: amazing!
