Let me share my solution.

bitly.php:
I set the following Curl options:
$options[CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION] = false;
$options[CURLOPT_HEADER] = false;

and for twitter.php:
$options[CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION] = false;

Then all error messages gone! :)

This tool is insane, I get 500+ Guests after every thread is posted woha!! thanks man

Oh, it works now! Thanks Jesh!:)

This is SEXY.

I enabled CURL in Apache, and now this Mod is working for be . Thank you very much.

What fun getting this stuff working.

So it all seems to boil down to making sure:
1) CURL is installed and enabled for PHP
2) JSON is enabled
3) You've put the right values in the plugin
4) The moon cycle is aligned with mars

Works a dream once you get past your environment's issues though.

I'm still looking for someone to help package this if people would like that.

Outstanding! Thank you.

I had no problems whatsoever in making this work...however, I did take a little bit of time to figure out what needed to be inserted into the plugin code. To save anyone else the extra few minutes, you are basically just replacing the info in between the < > symbols.

Uh no. You're supposed to replace the <> symbols AND everything between them.

PS I am not seeing any sort of influx of guests; certainly not 500. But then we've never had a presence and have few followers. Not sure what we could do with 500 lurkers knocking about anyway.

Great! Working at http://twitter.com/love_punjab for http://www.lovepunjab.com

Damn, forgot that ;)
