Although I have been involved with Twitter from shortly after it’s launch there is so much to learn. People come up with different ways to use Twitter to market and develop a community of people and this is one great area of Twitter to follow. The other area of Twitter that is equally as great is all the plugins and hacks that are developed to make the entire Twitter experience more and more unique.
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 plugin for WordPress and it makes it easy for your visitors to tweet your blog to their Twitter feed.
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 may be a plugin that makes an entire integration between your WordPress blog and your Twitter account. These Tools integrates with Twitter by supplying you with the subsequent functionality:
- Archive your Twitter tweets (downloaded every 10 minutes)
- Add 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 a different 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 may be a simple little plugin which 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. Displays your latest Twitter status, and when it was last updated.
Twitter Updater
The Twitter Updater automatically sends a Twitter status update to your Twitter account once you create, publish, or edit your WordPress post. You can specify the text for the updates. And even have the choice to show the auto update on/off for the various post actions within the admin panel.
Twittar WordPress Plugin
This WordPress plugin will attempt to load the twitter avatar of the person leaving a discuss a blog post. It will try to match the email address in the comment to the Twitter account. If this cannot be done it will attempt to use the Gravatar. There are a number of other style settings you can use for customization.
