Ever been midway through writing an article and had the revelation “this sentence would make a fantastic tweet?” There are few things more frustrating than being too short on time to navigate and login to yet another website to get your information out to your clients.

That is where allInstantTweet shines! By simply highlighting the important text in your article (up to 120 characters) and the press of a single button in your WYSIWYG, your thoughts, ideas and important updates are instantly transmitted and posted directly to Twitter with no fuss.

allInstantTweet is stand-alone extension, but works well in conjunction with allArticleAnnounce; an automated article to Twitter and Facebook extension. This extension and many more can be found in our extension section of our website.

With much anticipation, I am proud to announce the release of the latest version of allArticleAnnounce, version 1.1.0.  If you currently have an earlier version of this extension running on your website, I recommend that you upgrade to receive the benefits of our latest version. However, as this is not a security update, the need to upgrade is not urgent.

allArticleAnnounce empowers users with the ability of tapping into two of the Internet’s most powerful social media websites Facebook and Twitter. Cut down on double handling by publishing content across three separate websites with a single click. By cross linking content across multiple websites and creating a social community, websites can expect to improve their search engine optimisation and their following.

In version 1.1.0, allArticleAnnounce now gives the choice of what content to display to the public on an article by article basis. Users can chose to either use the first 80 characters or the Metadata description of an article to update with, along with the page’s respective SEF URL!

Users of allArticleAnnounce also have the ability to specify exactly what categories they wish to have updates come from as well, meaning that only the updates which are needed are updated to realms of Facebook and Twitter.

And now, for something a little different in terms of extensions here at Joomtraders. We would like to announce the release of our new top 5 polling extension called allTop5. allTop5 allows Joomla! webmasters to create and manage multiple top 5 polls on their websites. The advanced polls in allTop5 not only allow registered users to give their personal ranking on a subject, but instead if they feel there is an option missing, add their own. Users are limited to voting only once as well, to limit the ability to vote stack.

This release comes as we are nearing the end of our halfprice sale. At the price of US$12.50, its perfect to give it a try and start getting your users interacting on your site.

Joomtraders would like to welcome the addition of our latest extension allMembersRecord to the family.

This extension fills the gap between conventional paper based membership registration and the overly complex extensions that are available for Joomla!.

allMembersRecord is part of our 50% off sale, and at US$12.50 for three months of support and upgrades, its fantastic value.

We are keen to know what you think of it, so head over to our forums and let us know.

Due to the popularity and success of this month, and also to celebrate the first of many of our extensions finding their way on to the Joomla! Extensions Directory (JED), we have decided to extend the date of our Let’s Decimate December Sale until the end of January!

We also have two new extensions on the way, and which will be out on around mid January 2010. So please, keep an eye out over the coming month, the new extensions will be on sale too!

We here at Joomtraders wish you all happy holidays and we look forward to a productive and exciting 2010!
