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.

hello uberdose,
I tested it nevertheless, here is what the log file says:
2007-11-12 09:56:42 queue_push(490)
2007-11-12 09:56:42 queue is now 490
2007-11-12 10:20:05 tag_posts()
2007-11-12 10:20:06 tag_posts()
2007-11-12 10:20:53 tag_posts()
2007-11-12 10:41:18 queue_push(491)
2007-11-12 10:41:18 queue is now 491
2007-11-12 10:45:24 tag_posts()
2007-11-12 10:45:25 tag_posts()
2007-11-12 10:46:10 tag_posts()
2007-11-12 10:46:11 tag_posts()
2007-11-12 10:46:11 tag_posts()
2007-11-12 10:53:37 queue_push(492)
2007-11-12 10:53:37 queue is now 492
2007-11-12 11:03:57 queue_push(494)
2007-11-12 11:03:57 queue is now 492,494
2007-11-12 11:05:13 queue_push(494)
2007-11-12 11:05:13 queue is now 492,494
2007-11-12 11:15:50 tag_posts()
and it goes on like this… I guess the queue is getting bigger and bigger but not getting bookmarked to delicious…
November 13th, 2007 at 9:08 pm
@ovidiu: Thanks for your input, I will have to rewrite the bigger part anyway to make room for more bookmarkers and will make it work. Can’t wait to try it myself
but I had some SEO pack releases coming in the way.
November 15th, 2007 at 7:16 am
This seems like a promising plugin, so I thought I would try it out. Activating the plugin and doing the initial options configuration seemed okay, but when I wrote a post I was greeted with the following:
The post went through and is viewable on my domain, but whether the post gets submitted to del.icio.us remains to be seen.
November 15th, 2007 at 8:03 am
I just wanted to comment again to let you know that the bookmark is going through to del.icio.us, so I suppose I’ll just ignore the error and hope for the best, lol.
November 15th, 2007 at 8:19 am
@Jenn: I will rewrite it soon to make it more stable. I think your problem is that it could not write ot its log, you should disable that.
November 15th, 2007 at 5:43 pm
I have created an open source desktop app for del.icio.us that use their api. Could be a useful addition to this plugin for the desktop. It’s written in C#. http://www.fosoft.net/social-bookmarking-tool/.
November 16th, 2007 at 3:16 am
uberdose - I’ll give that a try. I was really tired last night, so I didn’t play around with it too much. Nevertheless, it’s working perfectly for submitting articles. Thank you again for this awesome plugin!
November 19th, 2007 at 2:18 am
Thanks for another great plugin
November 19th, 2007 at 10:37 am
Very great plugin. Hope to see a 0.2 version with technorati …
November 21st, 2007 at 9:53 pm
Hi I just would like to introduce a new WP SEO plugin.
It is called wordsfinder and autogenerate tags and keywords.
It works like Ultimate Tag Warrior.
You can download it on the site.
Cheers
Frank
November 22nd, 2007 at 6:04 pm
It sounds like a great idea. Why leave pages out? Longer stickier posts become pages. I still wnat people to find the pages.
November 24th, 2007 at 12:45 pm
Already using it, works well so far, http://www.searchenginejournal.com/social-bookmarking-sites-which-dont-use-nofollow-bookmarks-and-search-engines/5985/ would be a good list of bookmarking sites to start with supporting imo
December 19th, 2007 at 4:04 am
Thank you so much for this SEO plugin. I’ll be sure to test this out good.
December 31st, 2007 at 4:54 am
Would the below make this plugin work on Godaddy?
Paste the following right after the curl_init($url);
//required for GoDaddy
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE, CURLPROXY_HTTP);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY,”http://proxy.shr.secureserver.net:3128″);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 120);
//required for GoDaddy
May only need curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY,”http://proxy.shr.secureserver.net:3128″); according to http://help.godaddy.com/article.php?article_id=1441&topic_id= on Google® Checkout API Proxy

January 7th, 2008 at 11:37 am
I’m surprised nobody took this to another level. It’s been here and doing delicious bookmarking and that’s it. Why is that all? I would definitely use your plug-in if it would allow me to bookmark on a number of social bookmarking services like stumbleupon, propeller, blah blah blah. who cares
January 14th, 2008 at 12:02 am
[…] Auto Social: You can have your posts submitted automatically to social bookmarking sites, del.icio.us. At the moment you can only submit to del.icio.us with one single account but other sites might be added soon. There is no way they can allow you to add multiple accounts. […]
January 22nd, 2008 at 10:19 pm
Are there any other scripts available that do what this one will do in the future?
January 22nd, 2008 at 10:42 pm
http://autosocialposter.com/
its payware though…
January 23rd, 2008 at 4:43 am
Wow, $197 for that one, will have to wait for this script to be polished!
January 23rd, 2008 at 9:00 am
@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.
January 23rd, 2008 at 8:44 pm
@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.
January 24th, 2008 at 3:55 am
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

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.

love to test it
