leenk.me automatically publishes a tweet to your Twitter account, a status update to your Facebook profile/fan page/group walls, and a share on your LinkedIn profile/company whenever you publish a new post in your WordPress website.
What can you do with leenk.me?
- Publish automatically to your social networks when you publish a new post in WordPress.

- Customize your Tweet format with the custom variables %TITLE%, %URL%, %CATS%, and %TAGS%.

FAQ

Yes, just be sure to check the box to Tweet/Publish/Share/Feed all authors in the leenk.me plugins.

Feel free to use the leenk.me contact form and we will respond as soon as possible.
Can I use other URL shorteners?
Yes, there is now a GUI interface for this in the main leenk.me settings, but if you can still use your own custom URL shortener by using the WordPress action hook ‘leenkme_url_shortener’ to change the URL shortener used. I wrote a post detailing how to use the bit.ly URL shortener.
