    Does anyone know how I can send a daily random post from WP to Twitter?
    I have a WP site with hundreds of posts, and I'd like to feed them one by one to Twitter. Doesn't necessarily have to be random.

    I've thought about creating a randomly updating RSS feed (pulled from my WP db), and using one of the RSS Twitter feeders, but that sounds like a lot like work to me :p

    You can use Twitterfeed to update your blog to your twitter account. You can set it to upload in real time, or in increments of time like every 30 min, 1rh, or once a day.

    Why are you planning to do that, you should have control on each and every thing you are sharing with your followers. If random posts will be send to twitter, that may get repeated and it will annoy your followers and they might drop you.

    The WP site I want to use isn't set up like a blog, so there's no new posts - and all posts have pretty much the same timestamp.

    I'm guessing it will only use the most recently posted items. I think I'll just write my own rss generator to pluck an unTwittered random entry from my WP db each day, and use a third party feeder (like TwitterFeed) to update Twitter.
