This week was a good week for Weplug in the press, with first an article in Le Point magazine (image below), and on their website for the second time :

Thanks to Marco (Nouvel Obs) and Émilie (Le Point)

You can now add your twitter account on weplug. Indeed, we've added a new functionality on your "My Home" page on weplug that allows you to receive all of your twitter posts in your friendstream on weplug (there's even an updater every 30 seconds, no more F5 refreshing !). You can also add a new post on twitter by using weplug lifestream form. In a few words, posting on weplug = 1 post on weplug + 1 post on your twitter account :) iPhone version also works well.

We have now a new very useful service on Weplug (available on http://up.weplug.com or http://upload.weplug.com) that allows you to upload and store your images very easily on the Internet. You can then use the stored image to share it on forums, blogs, etc.

Here's a video we made to show you "How to locate your friends on iPhone with Weplug". We hope it will make you smile :)

So, what are the next steps for Weplug ? We are doing everything we can to open Weplug system to the other websites, this means that we have to develop Weplug API, we hope it will soon be available (couple of weeks...). We are also very interested by partnerships with other services, so do not hesitate to send us an email if you have good ideas (and a nice website of course...).
