I recently noticed a few tweets and other postings that implied that Timo Elliot's SAP Web 2.0 Auto-tweet plugin for PowerPoint was no longer working. In fact Timo has had to update his plugin due to changes in Twitter's authentication process, as he explains on his website
"Because it’s very hard to use the new “OAuth” verification now required by Twitter directly from Office products, I’ve used a service provided by Supertweet.net — you create an account on that site using your twitter username, but a different password, and then you use those credentials in the AutoTweet window below."
If you have been using the old Auto-tweet Powerpoint plug-in, you will need to get the new one here, I confirm it works very well.
More information about auto-tweeting in presentations appears on the Incorporating the Twitter backchannel in a presentation page in my How to use Twitter for Social Learning guide.
