How about a Twitter plugin - the type where an affiliate can send a tweet directly from within Delavo, having selected a product to tweet about, and the tweet automatically includes his (shortened) affiliate link. Optionally he could also change the text of the tweet. I think such a plugin would be a hit, what do you think?

Suggested Features:

01. Select any of the merchant's products/packages to promote;
02. Edit the standard tweet text or affiliate could add his own;
03. Show the number of characters left for the tweet;
04. Affiliate link automatically inserted;
05. Select whether to use Delavo's Short URLs plugin (if installed) or an external service like Bit.ly to shorten links;
06. Option (checkbox) for the affiliate to follow the merchant on Twitter;
07. Optionally have more than one pre-written tweet for a product/package; affiliate can then:
- 07.1. Select the one he wants to use
- 07.2. Allow the plugin to make a random selection of which tweet to use
08. Set instances of automated future one-off and/or recurring tweets for specific or random products/packages, with selected or random tweet text;
09. Site owner (merchant) can use the plugin himself to promote his own products/packages.

I'm sure I could think of more handy features, and will add them here when I think of them. :)

That would be a nice addition to the features.

Thanks Ralf, I hope more people vote in the poll so we can try to convince John that it's a good idea. ;)
