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!

Wow, all this new fangled stuff is really making me feel old and pathetic, but that’s cool – as is this!

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.)!!!
Jan 7th at 3:40 am
A wonderful application.
Jan 7th 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.
Jan 7th at 5:21 am
If this keeps up I might just have to get a Ipod touch.:)
Jan 7th at 5:52 am
cool!! this makes wordpress more lovable!
Jan 7th at 5:55 am
very good, delighted
Jan 7th at 6:48 am
Way cool! Just one more reason to <3 WordPress.com.
Jan 7th at 7:36 am
holy tomato, birdman! I’ve been meaning to check out hoot suite, now I have a bigger incentive! thanks, WP!
Jan 7th at 9:03 am
Excellent ! thank you for your hard work and congrats
Jan 7th 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.
Jan 7th at 1:19 pm
Very, Very excited about this!
Jan 7th at 1:26 pm
We’ve also just integrated WordPress here at Sendible.com! The Twitter api made it really easy. Good work guys!
Jan 7th at 5:35 pm
Great to hear!
Jan 7th 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!)
Jan 7th at 5:30 pm
No character limit when posting from HootSuite to WordPress.com so you can write to your heart’s content.
Jan 7th at 3:10 pm
I love HootSuite… now I love it even more!
Jan 7th at 4:24 pm
This is great news!
Jan 7th at 5:22 pm
Bravo pour votre travail !
Jan 7th 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.
Jan 7th at 8:42 pm
I’ll pass this feedback on to HootSuite. Thanks Mark.
Jan 7th at 10:25 pm
Super cool! This is going to be a popular feature, for sure. Thanks!
Jan 8th at 12:46 am
Good Looking Out Paul – I was thinking about switching to Hootsuite – this made my choice much easier.
Jan 8th at 1:39 am
YAAAAAY *screams and runs around the room* YAAAAAAaaaAAAAaaaaaaAAAy!! YeeeeAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!! *shrieks*
Jan 8th at 1:52 am
the more hits…the better…..
Jan 8th 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.
Jan 8th 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.
Jan 8th at 6:05 am
Good to increase power of WordPress!
Awesome…
Jan 8th at 7:49 am
Oooh-la-la.. WORDPRESS ROCKS !!
No wonder its on #1 SPOT for 2 consecutive years!!
Jan 8th at 9:28 am
Is this application support nokia phones?
Jan 9th 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.
Jan 8th at 11:37 am
i shall try this
Jan 8th at 12:16 pm
Oh my. It is way too cool!
Amazing!
Jan 8th at 1:21 pm

Keep increasing the Power of WordPress!
Jan 9th at 12:14 am
We’ll see….(thinking)
Jan 9th at 4:21 am
i love it.. great!!
Jan 9th 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!!!
Jan 9th at 9:59 am

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!
Jan 11th 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$.
Jan 11th at 12:00 pm
I love wordpress…Impressive
Jan 11th at 8:28 pm
I have never used it, but it sounds awesome.
Jan 12th at 12:16 am
Upwards and onwards and thanks…cool!

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