Twitter TwitThis extension for BlogEngine .NET

After trying out DotNetKicks, I reckon it's a pain to click a button and then still have to fill out a title and description to recommend a webpage. What can I say, I'm lazy. But as they say, a lazy software engineer is a good software engineer. :)

So I decided to have a look at twitter and see if there's a bookmark extension for it. I found TwitThis. This service will automatically shorten the url as well and the entire process is a fire and forget event so it's all good.

You can download the updated Social Bookmarks extension here. This includes the DotNetKicks extension as well. You will need to put an updated SocialBookmarks.xml in the "App_Data\datastore\extensions" folder, which allows for "kickit" and "twitthis" options to be specified.
