So you spend hours everyday updating your Twitter profile? Whether you use your Twitter account to keep track of your favorite links or just want to share your experiences with the world, you may have the opportunity to turn your Twitter posts into blog posts that make sense. For that to make sense, you will need to have Twitter updates that can be truly useful to your readers. It could be a collection of your links or other people’s stories that you have found interesting. But you want your Twitter posts to make sense. If you have a Twitter account that has some valuable content you can repackage as a blog post and run your blog on WordPress, Twitter Digest is your friend.

Twitter Digest for WordPress goes through your Twitter updates each day and creates a blog post from them. You can define post frequency, which is useful if you are not too active on Twitter.

The plugin is pretty flexible as well. You can modify your posts’ titles and even classify your Twitter posts under their own category (recommended). You can also change the order of your tweets and define the minimum number of tweets per each post.

Twitter Digest is not for everyone. If you are not taking your Twitter account seriously, you should stay away from this plugin. It can hurt your blog if nonsensical tweets are posted to your it by accident. Of course, if you have followed your Twitter plan so far, you already have an exclusive Twitter account for your blog. In that case, you should not have trouble using this plugin.
