AUTHOR ABOUT TWITTER STATUS

Twitter Status updates Twitter account using article title & article's URL once you add new article to Joomla! It works very silence in background – you won't probably notice that something is adding to Twitter. Only indication of work is longer than usually page loading (+1 second longer), and message “Twitter account has just been updated” after saving article. Twitter Status support Community Builder & User Meta System Plugin (you can let your users tweet or just trace what articles they are adding), MyBlog (2.0.x, 3.0.x), and EventList (you can directly inform people about event using Twitter). In message you can attach URL to article/event - of course there's support of Joomla! SEF and sh404SEF for addresses!

Well worth every penny!" – BetUS.com

Scheduled jobs

Eliminated problem of updating non published articles and articles with "publish up" date in the future
Article that will publish in the future will be added to Twitter - Twitter Status all the time controls state of this articles. Function works when someone's browsing your site (user, administrator) - E.g. when you send article at midnight, and first person will see it at 5 a.m., Twitter account will be updated at 5 a.m.
You can purchase service that will open your site even every 5 minutes - more here. If you have good traffic - don't worry about scheduled updates ;)

SEF support

Joomla! built-in, and sh404SEF full support in Twitter Status

Twitter hashtags

Twitter Status has availibility to set hashtag, and each time while you are upgrading status hashtag will be attached
Hashtags can be placed in selected by you place: start, before message, behind message or behind URL to article

Once Twitter Status reports error, its functionality will allow to reiterate reported action

Reporting function in Twitter Status sends messages to Log Manager when something go wrong

Job helper

This service is intented to all administrators of Joomla! sites which don't have high traffic, but want to post article using "Scheduled Jobs" (post articles in the future and tweet in time of article's publish up). You are probably wondering what's that so let's explain something...

High traffic site scenario

(No need to use Job helper)

7:30 a.m. 12 August 2009

Adding to Joomla! article with publish up
date 11:00 a.m. 12 August 2009

11:00 a.m. 12 August 2009

Article is now publicated

11:01 a.m. 12 August 2009

Some visitor is opening your site.
Twitter Status noticed that article is publicated.
Updating Twitter account.

Low traffic site scenario

(Here is need to use Job helper)

7:30 a.m. 12 August 2009

Adding to Joomla! article with publish up
date 11:00 a.m. 12 August 2009

11:00 a.m. 12 August 2009

Article is now publicated

11:19 a.m. 12 August 2009

Some visitor is opening your site.
Twitter Status noticed that article is publicated.
Updating Twitter account.

As you can see if you don't have guests (or administrators don't make anything in back-end) you will not have updates untill someone visit your site. You can purchase service that will act as visitor, and every 1/2/5/10 minutes this visitor will open your site, and automatically ask Twitter Status whether updates are available or not.

INFORMATION FOR SERVER ADMINISTRATORS

Important thing is that Job helper sends only requests to receive your site but doesn't download its source (text, images) so you save bandtwidth. I hope that even server administrators are happy now.

JOB HELPER TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Twitter Status Job Helper service isn't subscribe service, it's just a product - you pay it, and once you buy it your site will be visited by Twitter Status visitor until you will say that you don't need this service. Notice that behind this service are people - I mean man has to add address to database, so activation of this service can last maximum 24 hours (usually it's 4 hours). You will be informed about activation of Job helper in e-mail.
