This plugin enables you to have your posts submitted automatically to social bookmarking sites like delicio.us. At the moment it’s delicio.us only but other sites are soon to come.
How to install
How it works
Everytime you save a post (initial publish or a later save) it gets put into a queue. There is a cron job awakening every x minutes (see Options) that looks into this queue. If there is something in this queue this post is submitted. On successful submit the post is removed from the queue.
What you need
I’m using some stuff that requres PHP with curl compiled in, and I need something like PHP 4.4.2 for the authentification. You also need a host that allows SSL connections to the outside (I think many Godaddy plans don’t allow this).
Download
It took me several weeks to write this plugin. One time I had an applet to do that, then I threw this code away and asked “Why not a Wordpress plugin?”. If you know any worthwhile social bookmarking sites with an API please let me know, I will implement it.

@Paul: I’m not endorsing anything, but is $197 really so much? I mean you do this to earn money, right?
January 23rd, 2008 at 11:56 am
No, $197 isn’t the issue. I have been burned by this type of promotion before. SOmetimes the software will work exactly as expected for a while, then suddenly because of a change on the targets end becomes useless.

@Paul: So what would you pay for an Auto Social with updates for say 1 year?
January 24th, 2008 at 3:27 am
I had paid for a ‘program’ in the recent past that was designed to boost traffic. I paid just over $200 for it and it had “lifetime” updates. Unfortunately the program never did work properly and updates didn’t come and the seller was overseas so I had no recourse.
I honest’ly don’t know what I would pay for the auto-social. I do think $200 would be fair if the script also included an auto rss feed randomizer and poster. Seems most of these types of scripts get a site banned by Google, so that issue would need to be addressed also.

i’ve used it, asp is all that it claims to be, ill leave it at that
January 24th, 2008 at 11:35 pm
Love the plugin. Lots of potential there. Noticed one thing, though. When you have a WP tag that consists of 2 words, like ‘New Zealand’ then del.icio.us posts them as 2 tags. ‘New’ and ‘Zealand’ in this case, so I changed in delicious.php $tag->name on line 44 to $tag->slug. Maybe you want to consider this in a future release…
January 25th, 2008 at 12:48 am
I’ve installed it on WP 2.2.1 and it appears that the cron thing it’s not working.
Nothing is added to the cron queue after publishing an article.
Any idea? Thank you.
January 30th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
well i know how to stumble a page on stumbleupon.
Will it work ? Auto Stumbling ? Will really be great if its able to stumble random post with random ID
January 31st, 2008 at 9:01 am
@Mohd: I don’t quite get what you’re refering to. Auto Stumbling is not that complex isn’t it? Are do you know of any challenges here that I don’t?
January 31st, 2008 at 10:33 am
Warning: stumble bans ips…
January 31st, 2008 at 3:59 pm
I love stumbleupon, and would hate to see it become a site that will display any potential spam that is autoposted!
January 31st, 2008 at 6:31 pm
@Earth Pro: No worries, it won’t happen. One of the reason this plugin never really got implemented.
February 5th, 2008 at 3:14 am
Looks like a kick ass plug in! Thanx!
Downloading straight away

I’m having a weird error with this - one some sites it works fine, but one site if I have it activated I get an error from Yahoo, and nothing on the site displays (blank screen) but in the admin I get the following message:
Sorry, Service Temporarily Unavailable.
The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.
Please check the URL for proper spelling and capitalization. If you’re having trouble locating a destination on Yahoo!, try visiting the Yahoo! home page or look through a list of Yahoo!’s online services. Also, you may find what you’re looking for if you try searching below.
Any ideas?
February 7th, 2008 at 3:21 pm
@uberdose
yes we can do it via cURL
@Trophaeum
yes it bas when you log into more than 2 accounts from 1 ip address, since the plugin will be on each one website, it will be stumbled from thier respective ips
@Earth Pro
yes it might create spam if everyone including bad blogs start using it.
February 7th, 2008 at 6:37 pm
@Mohd: I guess that most Wordpress installations are running on shared IPs so this is an issue.
February 13th, 2008 at 6:53 pm
Hi, i really want to thank you for the plugin but i have an idea for modify the plugin and i would really like to talk to you contact me pls.

Looks good. I’m going to test it on older PC first before giving it the thumbs up and moving it to my main work PC.
I’ll give some feedback when i’m up and running
Thanks
March 4th, 2008 at 5:30 pm
The plugin function sounds really great but I will wait till WP 2.5 and Auto Social 0.2 is out.
March 19th, 2008 at 6:25 pm
thanks for sharing
love to test it
April 12th, 2008 at 1:37 am
[…] Auto Social is a sure fire way to make sure your posts get to Del.icio.us Every post you makes gets submitted with your post tags. If you couple this with the post thingy that will put all your daily tagging into a single post auto post it to your blog, then you are in good shape to have a daily wrap up of everything you are doing online. See The Other Blog for an example of how I aggregate this feature. […]

Does this plugin add tags from the post to delicious?
April 16th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
I am very excited about this plugin and the possibility of it including more social networking sites. Uberdose, you are a wordpress bloggers best friend!

@uberdose: any plans to populate http://svn.wp-plugins.org/auto-social/trunk/ ? I love the idea of the plugin and I love being able to stay up-to-date by using ’svn up’!
@Shawn, #60: yeah, looking at the code, it does add tags.

Thank you so much for this SEO plugin. I’ll be sure to test this out
June 17th, 2008 at 7:58 am
@Artem: I never got the approval mail for the project by wordpress, so I’m surprised this directory exists in the repository. That was one of the main reasons I never took it to another level.
But now I’m into completely different things anyway, so there’ll never be any other version or code besides what’s on this page by me.
June 17th, 2008 at 8:24 am
:(, sounds like someone needs to take over, it’s a brilliant idea.
June 17th, 2008 at 7:30 pm
Yeah, the WordPress folks never sends out an email when the SVN repository is setup for you. When I requested my plugins to be added, I had to keep checking back everyday to see what the status is.
This plugin is a great idea and you are a great plugin developer. It’s pretty sad if you won’t be planning on updating this plugin (with new APIs) anymore?
June 24th, 2008 at 3:22 pm
Thank you very much for this plug-in This is exactly what i need, it saves me a lot of time.

Hello,
i have made a new plugin who is based on wpads and adman. It named WPAdsmod, but i will rename it. Now my question if i can use adman and prepare other this plugin to download.
I saw that you published AdMan under the GNU General Public License and so I can use your plugin as a part of my plugin?

Fanstastic. I love this plugin. Looking forward for furture version and release.

I have already use this plugin. Great job for bloggers. Thank you very much.
But I have a question about this plugin? Why don’t upgrade for the next version,so that we can auto submit to many social bookmarkings? Try more, hey. You have already do a great job.

I have been using the paid Auto Social Poster plugin since version 2. It almost worked properly in version 2, only worked for direct posts (not future posts) in version 3 and stopped working completely in version 4. The support people were unable to make any version of 3.x work on my server, which I have complete control over. I changed a dozen things and tested repeatedly over a period of 9 months, only to have them give up. As far as I am concerned ASP is dead.
