New-Feature: Use your own Twitter username

Up until now, when you used messagepub to send out Twitter messages, the messages were sent out from the @messagepub user on Twitter. We’ve just released a new feature that lets you send Twitter messages from your own account on Twitter.

To enable this feature on your account, login to messagepub and go to your account settings page. There, you should find an option to link your twitter account with messagepub.

This is done via Twitter’s new OAuth API so you do not have to give us your username and password. When you click on the ‘Link your Twitter Account’ link. You will be redirected to a web page on Twitter.com asking you to authorize messagepub to send messages on your behalf. Make sure you login to Twitter with the username that you want to link to the messagepub account.

Once you’ve authorized access to messagepub, you will be redirected to messagepub.com and from then on every-time you use the messagepub API to send out messages, they will be sent from the twitter username you linked to your account.

This is available to both Paid and Free accounts.
