There is now a checkbox to enable geotagging in your Twitter account settings; enabling this option allows third party applications to annotate individual tweets with location data. Developers could previously integrate only profile location with the Google Maps API as here.

Please see bioneural.net for additional terms of use."><img src="http://www.bioneural.net/wp-content/themes/k2bn/styles/bioneural/cc.png" alt="[CC]" /></a> From <a href="http://www.bioneural.net/" title="Please visit for full content">http://www.bioneural.net</a> doi:tSglPpAB7a8nfM : </p> It's taken me a while to warm to Twitter. I created the Quicklinks category on my blog for sharing things that didn't warrant a full post, but even that's too much effort sometimes&#8212;especially if it's just sharing a link. You might argue that's what bookmarking services like Digg and Delicious are for, but even then it's a multistep process. I've only recently become aware of just how well suited the Twitter API is to sharing links or updating your status message to multiple services with minimal effort. This post shares some PHP code to integrate your tweets within your WordPress blog, and code to simplify getting your WordPress posts into other people's tweets.


The interconnectedness of tweeting

A few examples:


	I use the Twitter updater plug-in to notify Twitter of new posts on my WordPress blog.
	Darkslide on my iPhone can post a Flickr image link via the iPhone Twitterrific app. 
	Most of my links are discovered in my preferred RSS reader NetNewsWire, which can send these to desktop Twitterrific (News menu).
	The Twitter app for Facebook will update your Facebook status using your tweets.
	Twitter offer an RSS feed which can be used in conjunction with the SimplePie PHP library to bring tweets to your WordPress blog.


This last example is the focus of this post. I will assume that you have already downloaded and correctly installed SimplePie for WordPress from here.

A SimplePie template for Twitter

Create a text file called tweets.tmpl containing the following:



	{IF_ERROR_BEGIN}{ERROR_MESSAGE}{IF_ERROR_END}
		{ITEM_LOOP_BEGIN}
		{ITEM_DATE_UTC}{ITEM_DESCRIPTION}#
		{ITEM_LOOP_END}



Upload this file to the following directory on your server:

/wp-content/plugins/simplepie-plugin-for-wordpress/templates/

Now for a little ...]]></description>
