subject: Spice Up Your Blog With 7 Wordpress Twitter Plugins [print this page] There is no question with the increasing popularity of both Twitter and Wordpress. To link the two of them together is essential for the experience of your visitors.
I want to list a number of Wordpress Twitter Plugins that you should know about for your personal Twitter experience.
Tweet Meme
You are possibly familiar with the little graphic that shows the number of tweets a blog post has and then you see a green button under that number that says retweet. This is the Tweet Meme WP plugin. It makes it very easy for your visitor to Tweet your blog post to their Twitter wall.
Tweetbacks
With the explosion of blogging and Twitter this Wordpress plugin will import Tweets about your post as comments. You can display the tweetbacks nested in other comments on your blog or display them separately. The more comments you have on your site the better ranking your page can get in Google since it shows activity and value.
Twitter Tools
Twitter Tools is a plugin that creates a complete integration between your WordPress blog and your Twitter account. Twitter Tools communicates with your Twitter account and has many features of great value, the features include:
* Archive your Twitter tweets (downloaded every 10 minutes)
* Create a blog post from each of your tweets
* Create a daily or weekly digest post of your tweets
* Create a tweet on Twitter whenever you post in your blog, with a link to the blog post
* Post a tweet from your sidebar
* Post a tweet from the WP Admin screens
* Pass your tweets along to another service (via API hook)
Twit this
Place some simple code on your site to create a graphic or a text link that people can click to post a Tweet to their Twitter account.
Twitt twoo
Twitt-Twoo is a simple little plugin that will allow you to update your Twitter status right from your blog's sidebar. AJAX takes cares of the hard work, and means that your page doesn't even have to reload, allowing for quick and easy status updates. Shows your most recent Twitter status, and when your Twitter status was last updated.
Twitter Updater
The Twitter Updater automatically sends a Twitter status update to your Twitter account when you create, publish, or edit your WordPress post. You can determine the text that will be used for the updates and also have the choice to enable the autoupdate for different post actions on your admin panel.
Twittar Wordpress Plugin
This Wordpress plugin will try to load the twitter avatar of the person leaving a comment on a blog post. The program will use the visitor's Twitter email address to match the email address they left in your comment box. If this cannot be done it will attempt to use the Gravatar. There are a number of other style settings that can be applied to the avatar for customization.
