The Torque Social Hour is a weekly livestream of WordPress news and events. In this episode we talk with Shawn Hooper and David Bisset about social media, owning your own content, and turning your WordPress site into an aggregator of your all your social networks.
We start off talking about Shawn’s Twitter-Archive-To-WP tool. Then we discuss davidbisset.social, which was built with WordPress and shows a chronological version of all of David’s social media posts. I also mentioned a tool called Tweetgrab, which allows you to convert any existing Twitter embeds on your WordPress site into static images with properly formatted Alt-Text descriptions.
During the show we also mention FeedWordPress, Anil Dash’s thoughts on search and consent in the fediverse, the Searchadon retrospective, and the the Timeline Block for WordPress.
If you’d like to know more about how to turn your WordPress site into a Linktree-style list of your favorite social networking sites, check out my tutorial:
