I've updated my Twitter Tools plugin to version 2.3. This version has several security enhancements (thanks Mark Jaquith) as well as a change that may help some folks that have been seeing doubled digest posts. I recommend upgrading ASAP.

The Twitter Tools plugin creates a full integration between your WordPress site and your Twitter account. You can send your blog posts to Twitter, bring your tweets back into your blog (as posts, in the sidebar or in a digest) and post to Twitter right from your WordPress admin. Twitter Tools also works as a Twitter archiver, so you keep a copy of all your tweets in your WordPress database.

Twitter Tools has no known incompatibilities with WordPress 3.0 at this time and is working in our testing, however that could change between now and the time 3.0 is released. We won't know for sure about compatibility until 3.0 is out there.

I also wanted to note that Twitter Tools will be supporting OAuth in a future release, before the current authentication is turned off.

The download and more information are available on my WordPress Plugins page.

If you have any trouble with this, please contact the WordPress HelpCenter (303-395-1346) or you can try the WP Support Forums.

Better support for mobile plugins.
A cache tester.
Can be configured to only delete the page a comment is left on, rather than the front page and associated pages.
Works in WordPress 3.0.

It also has a number of bug fixes and other features added too.

I need testers though, so grab the development version from the download page. Install it and please leave feedback here or preferably on the support forum.

Test 2

I'm sitting in Stockholm in the open room that serves as the catchall meeting space for the Swedish branch of the KaosPilots-"the best school for the world." More chairs are set up than usual. There's an inner circle of chairs for the students and a second, outer circle for friends, family, and supporters. Today is a special day: Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus is visiting the KaosPilots. These young students are paying their own tuition rather than attend one of Sweden's many state-funded colleges because they want to learn the skills of a social innovator. Who better to learn from than Muhammad Yunus?

Yunus isn't one for speeches. He sits quietly at the front of the room under the banner with the playful KaosPilots logo and invites questions from the students. He's so downto-earth, honest, matter-of-fact, and authentic that it takes only a few awkward opening questions from the slightly awed students before they forget that the man dressed in his signature Bangladeshi vest is the founder of the Grameen Bank and a genuine Nobel laureate.
