Watch how extension works:
in Joomla! 1.5: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QIRIRl1PIA
in Joomla! 2.5/3.0: recording :)
If you are website developer you can use one copy of extension on as many websites as you want!
NCT for Joomla! 1.5 has support of Joomla! SEF, sh404SEF, MyBlog, EventList and VirtueMart.
You can configure NCT to send new tweets with corresponding article/event URL. Additionally you can post tweets with hashtags.
Twitter Status has been transformed to NewContent Tweeter because of new Twitter authorization method (OAuth). Twitter Status was first Twitter autoposting extension for Joomla!. NCT has professional support - solving problems often takes less than 15 minutes. You are real developer of this application that's why *each idea is very appreciated*!
I bought this extension on August 26th for my Joomla 1.5.x site. When I tried to perform the OAUTH config, I got an http 500 INTERNAL SERVER ERROR. I have reproduced the same error on another fresh install of Joomla. I contacted the author and initially he asked me for logs and settings of my Joomla and php server. I send them to him; since August 30th I haven't received any news from the developper and he doesn't reply my e-mails just asking if he is still working on the problem.
I was hesitating... but I was wrong!
Intuitive and very user friendly. Successively running on Joomla 1.5 and Joomla 2.5.
Well organized support - after nearly half an hour received answer to my request. Developer prepared special build for my needs!!!
Thank you for excellent extension = I'm going to recommend it! Best regards!

Up until a couple of weeks ago was working excellently, recently seems to have stopped and not hearing anything from developer.
Just couple of days ago I got this component and noticed something wrong in instillation and contacted the email provided in the component. Surprised when I got the response in couple of mints! not only the problem was not in the component but in my server, he also did some extra and put new options to it and send it to me. then I asked him to change the VIA NewContentTweeter to my own site name, HE DID IT without any extra charge... I am using this component and I am happy, too. I recommend to any one that needs something like this...
I had a copy of this as a beta and it worked great. Then suddenly the final version is released and mine STOPS working! Talk about angry and really pissed when I suddenly find out that I have to now PAY for this app! Upgrading should be a CHOICE not a requirement, I shouldn't be forced to upgrade like this. But that's ok, truly I'll find someone else who doesn't screw with people. Buying the plugin isn't the problem, but the underhanded and shady way in which this was done is really upsetting.
I refuse to support ANYONE who does business in ANY form like this. I really liked the app, but at this point I refused to be jerked around like this.

Please check whether Beta version of NCT is working now. I am sure that it was twitter.com fault - I don't have button "Disable NCT 3.0.0 Beta". I am also very angry because for ALL of betatesters I have free copy of NCT!
You mentioned one magic word: "support". Actally you didn't contact with me so how could I know about your case? Btw: There was a time when Twitter Status users had option for free upgrading to NCT and I'm pretty sure that such an action wasn't only incident.
I am very sad - no one is jerk. Anyway, please contact with support.
This is a great Twitter component, one of the few actually working with the new Oauth of Twitter.
Really like the new log management and the virtuemart implementation (yes, even with twitpic functionality)! How great!
Installation was a breze and the Oauth setup was really easy.
NewContent Tweeter is a worthy successor of the Twitter Status component.

The NewContent Tweeter is everything that I hoped it would be, and more. I have been using Twitter Status for a couple of years and when Twitter changed its authentication process and Twitter Status stopped working, it became an ever increasing grind to update Twitter manually with every new entry blog into Joomla.
Now with NewContent Tweeter happy days are back again, and to boot, the developer has added an outstanding feature, the option to trim the system logs after a few days, or more, automatically.
This was not an option on the Twitter Status version that had me constantly needing to go to phpMyAdmin and clear tables to remove old logs from the previous version to stop my database from exponentially increasing and increasing the cost to my ISP for hosting a larger database.
I have not tried the Scheduled Jobs option yet, but look forward to finding it as another enhancing feature on this excellent Joomla Component and Plugin.
Well done to the developer! You have my sincere thanks and total gratitude for your efforts in writing this very neat extension.
