[...] Add custom contact fields for users – You can now have Twitter link in user profile instead of Jabber ID which you can use to display in custom author boxes! See a small example at Yoast. [...]

Good news! the_author_meta and get_the_author_meta do just that. You could use the_author_meta('twitter'); to display an author's twitter profile, f/i.

I'm with SeiferTim on this one. This seems more useful if a template tag is available. Then you can provide a super easy solution for integrating your favorite social networks.

Yup, can't wait for Wordpress 2.9 now. I never fill up the AIM, Yahoo IM and Jabber / Google Talk but I would love to have Twitter in it.

Any other insights into what we can expect to see in WP 2.9?

Can you also create hidden or fields that can't be edited in the same way?

This really is useful. You tend to come up with this kind of plugins that nobody thinks of, but is useful to half of the WordPress community. Great job Joost!

This seems like a successful attempt to get your social profiles plugin into the wp core :)But it nice for other plugins to be able to set those with a filter.

AWESOME!! :D I hate editing core-files, so I never edit 'em out, but this is just totally AWESOME!! :D

That looks awesome! I wonder if you'll be able to extend $contactmethods to include things like snail mail fields...

This is HUGE! I've been following Justin Tadlock's new user role plugin development where this subject came up again. This will open the doors wide open for plugin developers!

Yahhhooooo!
