Twitter Plug-In for Live Writer

I know people have mixed feelings about this, but I wanted to mention it anyway as I am a huge Windows Live Writer fan.  The Live Writer team recently released a plug-in for automatically creating a new Tweet on Twitter to point to your blog post. 

This means that you can hit the “Publish” button on your blog post and have it instantly update your Twitter stream with a link to the new blog post.  Pretty cool, especially if you often blog in response to things happening on Twitter, as many folks I know do.

You can find out more about this in the Live Writer blog here: http://writerdevzone.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!FF912D98C958E9D3!170.entry  The entry talks about updates to the Live Writer SDK and shows you how to take advantage of the new pre- and post- publish events.

Another cool thing they added as a sample was a “Digg This” plug-in to enable adding automatically a DiggThis button to your post.
