Drupal Twitter module - new Drupal posts update automatically to Twitter

The Drupal Twitter module is an answer to a problem that I had been looking for a solution to.  A fundamental part of a good traffic creation strategy is to ping social networking sites when you create content on your site.  As a part of that ping process, you want to have a description/title of whatever content you produce and a link back to your website to the full article.  The main purpose is so that you can drive traffic back to your website to consume your content.

How this works with the social networks is that in Twitter for example, everyone that is following you would see a tweet that you just posted to your blog.  But doing this manually every time you post to your blog or create an article would be time consuming.  Luckily, there are automatic pinging module available for Drupal called the Drupal Twitter module.

It works by saving your Twitter account username/password, then every time you post something, it will go out and automatically create a Tweet for you.  Its really simple, I actually found a tutorial to show you how to install the Drupal Twitter module.
