The Shtick

The Shtick Auto-Twitter for Nucleus 0.1 has been officially released.

The Shtick Auto-Twitter for Nucleus is a plugin designed for Nucleus CMS to enable automatic tweeting (messaging using the Twitter service) to announce when a user has posted a new blog item or even made a comment. (Tweets are posted to the Twitter account of the user who performed the action.)

In connection with this initial release a page has been created on the Nucleus wiki to make the plugin available to the Nucleus using public, where one can find the current wish list of features that are planned to be incorporated into the next version of the tool.

The Shtick Auto-Twitter for Nucleus is written in PHP, and is provided free to the public.

After years of waiting, a new version of The Shtick has been prepared, dedicated to making current and future products, services, and projects available. Current listings include The Shtick Image Editor, The Shtick Auto-Twitter for Nucleus, the Gospel and Scripture Topical Guide, and a new wiki-based version of The Glyph Project. It is hoped that with the new website focus, The Shtick will be able to better organize its efforts to develop its projects.

The old website's content can be found at old.theshtick.org.
