Last week, I was testing a plugin when it went a little haywire and automatically created a bunch of posts (based on my NewsGator clippings, including a lot of law related and gadget related topics -- things I read about but don't write about). And then because I have Alex King's twitter tools installed, each of those new posts was propagated to twitter, too.

Now, I thought that this little stunt probably would have pissed people off. Instead (maybe), I saw a huge spike in traffic to this blog -- more than three times the usual traffic.

I'm assuming that these "visitors" were just bots that were monitoring the twitter public timeline, but the referrer logs don't back that up (although that doesn't necessarily mean anything).

His latest post describes the numerous WordPress plugins he's using, many of which he wrote.

I'm not using any of these right now, but I steal Alex's ideas and code all the time for my own hacking. ;)

P.S. Oh yeah, I'm using WP Grins. Thanks, Jeff.
