WP to Twitter was my first plugin. I released it in 2008, as a project originally paired with a Pierre Far’s custom URL (Uniform Resource Locator) shortener, Cli.gs. (Now long gone.) I’ve maintained it steadily for 15 years. In 2012, I added the premium add-on WP Tweets Pro, so that I could afford to continue to update the plug-in.
