Wordpress yesterday launched a new feature which would automatically send a tweet about your blog post. These tweets can be auto generated or can be customized.
To be able to send out an auto generated tweet from your Wordpress, you need to be a Twitter user (i.e have a Twitter account) and connect your Wordpress to Twitter.
To connect your Wordpress blog to your Twitter account you just need to follow these simple steps:
Step1: Go to your Dashboard -> My Blogs
Step 2: “Publicize” column will show you the checkboxes for the supported services .Click on the checkboxes for the services you want to connect (Twitter). You’ll be shown a message asking you to authorize the connection.
Step 3: Once you click the authorize link, you’ll be taken to Twitter, where you’ll need to sign in and approve the connection.
Step 4: Once the connection is established, every time you are about to publish a post; Twitter will be shown as the publicize service you enabled.
This would send an automatic tweet on twitter when you publish the post.

@SeoInra Thanks for pointing it out.
Used this http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2009/10/08/publicize-twitter/ as my reference and it was posted yesterday itself. It could be some addition I might be missing out. Please let me know in any case.
How to add this feature for http://micro.eyoosuf.com/ blog?
Recently, there has been a good deal of inquiries by the
American FTC against bloggers and website owners
for not revealing their advertising revenue, or existing
connections with ad networks.
What are your personal thoughts about how this could effect
the blog world?
Wow, I didn’t heard about this topic up to the present. Thanks!
@Wonernespitte but in most cases its quite transparent. Do not have much knowledge about this to comment.
@BymnBypecom Glad you found it useful.
