Thanks for creating the MT-Twitter plug-in. It works like a charm.
However in tweeting a post, I'd like the ability to include some additional query parameters on the base URL for the post. The main reason is so that I can check how well my Tweets perform at driving traffic to my site in whatever web analytics tool I use.
For example... Instead creating a tinyURL for the following post URL:
http://www.nickpotter.net/2008/09/pier-ing-into-the-future.php
I'd like to append some extra bits (these would be the same for all posts) like so:
http://www.nickpotter.net/2008/09/pier-ing-into-the-future.php?utmcampaign=blog&utmsource=twitter&utm_medium=micro-blog
This would allow me to track, using Google Analytics in this case, the twitter referrals as a campaign. Essentially all this would need is an option box to allow me to enter my custom query parameter extras in the plug-in setting screen so that they could be added before the URL is made into a TinyURL.
Is this something that is easy to do with your plug-in (i.e. a local tweak I can make) or something you would consider adding to the next version of the plug-in?
