Publicize awe.sm Support

  • I’m looking to create a plugin to mashup Publicize and awe.sm and am seeing if this is possible.

    awe.sm is similar to bit.ly except every share action creates a unique URL. So if I publicize my post to both Facebook and Twitter, there should be a unique awe.sm shortlink for each social network.

    That means I can’t simply update the update the WP default shortlink. I would need to something like iterate through each network and supply a different URL for each.

    Any suggestions on how I should proceed? Do I need to just start a plugin from scratch?

    Hi,

    This wouldn’t be possible using Jetpack’s Publicize. You would need to filter the URL of the post right before it is sent to each social network. However, no such filter hook exists, and the action to post to the social networks exists on WordPress.com’s servers, not in the Jetpack code itself. You could always create a Trac enhancement request here:

    but I can’t guarantee that it’ll ever be implemented.

    You could always try to write your own plugin yourself, but then you wouldn’t be able to use WordPress.com to post to the social networks; you’ll need to create your own developer accounts with them.
