So I have this wildly complex and intricate informational ecology going on, including (for example) my Google Plus posts feeding into my blog.
In fact, I consider my blog (https://hill-kleerup.org/blog/) the Site of Record for All Things Me.
Beyond G+, I also have the Twitter Tools plug-in in my WordPress blog as a way to pull my Tweets into my blog as a daily digest, and thus permanent record. It also means I can use Twitter as a micro-blogging tool, and I can have my Tweets show up in the blog side-bar. And, yes, there are people who look there still.
Except Twitter keeps changing its API rules. And that whole link-up went south a few days (to a week) ago.
What's a blogger to do?
Well, I did a bit of research …
1. Twitter Tools, of which I use the 2.4 version, has an update to 3.0 — which uses a different underlying code and relies on another plug-in … and no longer supports daily digests. Argh.
2. This post (http://wordpress.org/support/topic/twitter-tools-api-compatibility?replies=9#post-3247279) has updates to the 2.4 code (edit the main Twitter Tools PHP file) to make the new Twitter API changes work (and they do, both sidebar tweets and evening daily digests).
3. Twitter has further API changes that go live in March that will break everything all over again (largely by no longer publishing RSS / XML / Atom feeds). So how this all will work then is somewhat up in the air as of then.
Having a vast, interlocking, media empire is, apparently, never a dull moment.
