WordPress.com: Now on HootSuite
Last month we introduced new ways to post and keep up to date with WordPress.com blogs through the Twitter API. One of the coolest parts about this is you can make use of a growing number of microblogging apps to publish to your WordPress.com blog.
Today our friends at HootSuite announced their support of WordPress.com. HootSuite is an easy to use microblogging tool that lets you post updates to many different social networks. WordPress.com is the first blogging platform they’re officially supporting.
You can schedule and cross-post content to multiple WordPress.com blogs (posting to self-hosted WordPress blogs isn’t available yet). You can also set up a Home Feed for blogs you’re following, and reblog posts that you like. Check out the tutorial video HootSuite’s put together to see how easy it is to get going.
For even more apps, including iPhone, BlackBerry, and Firefox flavors, we created an apps for WordPress.com directory that we’ll keep updated with new ways to get your blog on. Enjoy!

January 7th, 2010 at 1:38 am
Yet another welcome addition to WP!
January 7th, 2010 at 1:49 am
great one, thanks!
January 7th, 2010 at 2:04 am
Great………..I always wait for your innovation!
January 7th, 2010 at 2:12 am
Wow, all this new fangled stuff is really making me feel old and pathetic, but that’s cool – as is this!
January 7th, 2010 at 3:00 am
^_^ Nice!!
January 7th, 2010 at 3:08 am
Learn something new on WP every day thanks for keeping us informed.
January 7th, 2010 at 3:09 am
Oh, wow!! That’s great! I will check it out.
January 7th, 2010 at 3:20 am
That’s awesome! I can’t to wait to use HootSuite for WordPress too (besides its other wonderful features like working with Twitter, Facebook ect.)!!!
January 7th, 2010 at 3:40 am
A wonderful application.
January 7th, 2010 at 4:10 am
Lots of potential here.
Signed up to hootsuite and linked to my WordPress.com account; Since I manage several WP a/c how do I tell hoot-suite which blog I want to post to? Hoot-suite says do something with the twitter api! What? Where is it? and How?

You can set the blog you post to on your WordPress.com profile page. There’s a Twitter API section and a menu to pick the blog for your updates.
January 7th, 2010 at 5:21 am
If this keeps up I might just have to get a Ipod touch.:)
January 7th, 2010 at 5:52 am
cool!! this makes wordpress more lovable!
January 7th, 2010 at 5:55 am
very good, delighted
January 7th, 2010 at 6:48 am
Way cool! Just one more reason to <3 WordPress.com.
January 7th, 2010 at 7:36 am
holy tomato, birdman! I’ve been meaning to check out hoot suite, now I have a bigger incentive! thanks, WP!
January 7th, 2010 at 9:03 am
Excellent ! thank you for your hard work and congrats
January 7th, 2010 at 10:23 am
Am very impressed with this application so far – and I only joined ten minutes ago – am going to have a lot of fun with this.
January 7th, 2010 at 1:19 pm
Very, Very excited about this!
January 7th, 2010 at 1:26 pm
We’ve also just integrated WordPress here at Sendible.com! The Twitter api made it really easy. Good work guys!
January 7th, 2010 at 5:35 pm
Great to hear!
January 7th, 2010 at 3:07 pm
Huh. This may help push me into microblogging. Now I just need to work on getting less verbose. (Curse you, character limits!)
January 7th, 2010 at 5:30 pm
No character limit when posting from HootSuite to WordPress.com so you can write to your heart’s content.
January 7th, 2010 at 3:10 pm
I love HootSuite… now I love it even more!
January 7th, 2010 at 4:24 pm
This is great news!
January 7th, 2010 at 5:22 pm
Bravo pour votre travail !
January 7th, 2010 at 7:02 pm
It really should say “WordPress.com” instead of “WordPress” (four instances). Self-hosted (WordPress.org) users are going to get confused and enter their local user/password.
January 7th, 2010 at 8:42 pm
I’ll pass this feedback on to HootSuite. Thanks Mark.
January 7th, 2010 at 10:25 pm
Super cool! This is going to be a popular feature, for sure. Thanks!
January 8th, 2010 at 12:46 am
Good Looking Out Paul – I was thinking about switching to Hootsuite – this made my choice much easier.
January 8th, 2010 at 1:39 am
YAAAAAY *screams and runs around the room* YAAAAAAaaaAAAAaaaaaaAAAy!! YeeeeAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!! *shrieks*
January 8th, 2010 at 1:52 am
the more hits…the better…..
January 8th, 2010 at 2:29 am
That’s really awesome! I have one question though. How do you get to that main screen to the point where you click on settings…… there’s a different home page than that. I don’t understand that part.
January 8th, 2010 at 5:19 am
The Settings button is near the bottom of the home screen in HootSuite. Click on “Settings” then the “Social Networks” tab to add your WordPress.com blog.
January 8th, 2010 at 6:05 am
Good to increase power of WordPress!
Awesome…
January 8th, 2010 at 7:49 am
Oooh-la-la.. WORDPRESS ROCKS !!
No wonder its on #1 SPOT for 2 consecutive years!!
January 8th, 2010 at 9:28 am
Is this application support nokia phones?
January 9th, 2010 at 1:38 am
HootSuite.com is a web application, accessible by any browser. They’ve also released an iPhone app but I don’t believe there’s a Nokia-phone specific app.
January 8th, 2010 at 11:37 am
i shall try this
January 8th, 2010 at 12:16 pm
Oh my. It is way too cool!

January 9th, 2010 at 4:21 am
i love it.. great!!
January 9th, 2010 at 5:30 am
I love it and I am using it. I am sure they will tweak some more of it to allow us to place tags and the categories that we want our blog posts to be filed under. For the most part I really like it. I just have to sign in to put the tags and categories in on the blog posts. HootSuite is doing so many new things they have rolled out this past week you have to go over there are really check it out. Go HootWord!!!
January 9th, 2010 at 9:59 am
i love HootSuite, i love WordPress 2
January 9th, 2010 at 10:39 pm
I’m confused, but it sure is a nice thing to try and figure out when you have to work on the weekend!

Nice all this new stuff is making me feel adventurous and silly, silly I don’t know why. Anyway I am setting this right now as we speak. Thanks!
January 11th, 2010 at 11:26 am
I’m rather sad that WP is free software (free as freedom) and WP.com doesn’t do enough for open platforms, open protocols and open formats.
Identi.ca, ODF formats should be your priority, these are more fun than Twitter and M$.
January 11th, 2010 at 12:00 pm
I love wordpress…Impressive
January 11th, 2010 at 8:28 pm
I have never used it, but it sounds awesome.
January 12th, 2010 at 12:16 am
Upwards and onwards and thanks…cool!
January 12th, 2010 at 2:09 am

January 14th, 2010 at 11:43 pm
What’s the best way to automatically have new posts from a blog posted to a Facebook account?
January 15th, 2010 at 3:11 pm
I think I’m going to try this out.
January 15th, 2010 at 7:55 pm
