I keep finding long lists of all these great Twitter/WP tools but I don’t have time to try them all out. I’m looking for the simplest way to send my blog posts to Twitter, with full control over which one go to Twitter, when they go there, and how they read. Should I use TwitPress, TwitterTools, TwitMe… or ? Which is the easiest to set up and use? Thanks for any suggestions!
