Have a WordPress blog? Want your posts to automatically publish status updates to Facebook, Twitter and other major social networks? Even the scheduled ones?

Don’t want to spend more than 20 minutes setting it all up?

You’re in luck.

I just got the Next Scripts: Social Networks Auto Poster plugin working and I am pretty pee-pee jazzed.

WordPress Version: 3.5.1
SNAP Plugin Version: 2.7.9

Y’see, I got Rare Words comics stockpiled until June. But I’m about to do some serious, serious traveling and probably not get a chance to share them via Twitter and Facebook while I’m out.

I’m really enjoying this wild future where people automate tasks so I don’t have to. Can we apply this phenomenon to grocery shopping ‘cos I am real tired of going three times a week for tomatoes pls kthx.
