April 11th, 2007
ADVERTISEMENTS
[Regularly Updated] Twitter is buzzing and here is a collection of top 10 twitter tools, plugins, widgets and scripts to integrate with your wordpress blog. These Twitter tools are easy to implement and you can get them running in minutes in your wordpress blogs.
Wordpress Twitter Plugins, Tools, Widgets
- Wickett Twitter Widget – Display tweets from a Twitter account in the sidebar of your blog. As seen on WordPress.com. The easiest and best way to add Tweets to Wordpress.
- TweetSuite -� a Twitter-WordPress integration plugin that includes server-side TweetBacks, ReTweet-This buttons, digg-like Tweet-This Button, automatic tweeting of new posts and some widgets.
- Tweet This – A plugin that adds a Twitter icon to every post and page, so your readers can share your blog entries on their Twitter accounts with ease.
- TweetMeme button – easily allows your blog posts to be retweeted.
- Simple Twitter Link – simply returns a URL, which is a link to Twitter with your post/page URL within it.
- WP Twitip ID – Plugin adds an extra field to the comment form for user to enter their twitter username
- Twitter Badge – Official javascript codes that display badges showing what you are posting on Twitter.
- The Twitter Updater – a wordpress plugin that automatically sends a Twitter status update to your Twitter account when you create, publish, or edit your WordPress post. You can specify the text for the updates, and also have the option to turn the auto update on/off for the different post actions in the admin panel.
- TwitThis is an easy way for people to send Twitter messages about your blog post or website. When visitors to your website click on the TwitThis button or link, it takes the URL of the webpage and creates a shorter URL using TinyURL. Then visitors can send this shortened URL and a description of the web page to all of their friends on Twitter.
- Twitter Tools – This wordpress plugin creates an integration between your WordPress blog and your Twitter account. Pull your tweets into your blog and create new tweets on blog posts and from within WordPress.
- Twitter Wordpress Sidebar Widget – Customise the number of updates shown in your sidebar, individual links to each status update on Twitter, style your Twitterings using CSS, choose whether to display your Twitter name before each post and customise text between the post text and the relative time.
- Twitter Feed – Posts your blog updates to your twitter account. Login to twitterfeed using your OpenID, provide the URL for your blog RSS feed, and how often to post to Twitter.
- Twitt-Twoo – is a simple little plugin that will allow you to update your Twitter status right from your blog�s sidebar. It is AJAX powered and allows for quick and easy status updates.
- Twitter Sharts – ‘Shart’ your twitter status anywhere within your wordpress blog posts or pages.
I hope these Twitter tools will help you integrate Twitter in your wordpress blog and vice versa. Found a Twitter tool for this list? Post it in comments. This list is regularly updated. Photo by dbarefoot

10 Best Twitter Tools for Wordpress Blogs is very dificult for me
Great links, thanks a lot…I’ll probably be implementing some of them.
Great list. I use of Twitter Feed often and it’s very handy.
Thanks
Unfortunately Twitt-Twoo works only with PHP5 – I hope there will be a workaround soon…
There is a good work around for the problem, in fact it totally fixes it. Run PHP5. PHP4 is EOL’d and no longer supported.
Nice tools ..
Thank you and wishing you more creativity ..
What is twitter?
Excellent! Just added a Twitter Tools to my blog! Thanks for sharing!
Hi,
I translate to portuguese this article. I hope you enjoy.

If you have a WP blog and need some timely, relevant content, my new tool Twitterdoodle can automatically add posts to your blog based on twitter keyword/keyword phrase searches.
Here is my webpage that explains the plugin in detail:
http://www.lessnau.com/twitterdoodle/
I use twittertools on my wordpress mu installation. its amazing with a nice tumblelog theme like t2!
Excellent Information
Nice.. keep up the good work.. I’m gonna try all those.. :)
TwitterSplit turns your everyday twitter post links into “lasso” links keeping your traffic close to home and helping you promote anything you like atop your externally linked pages. Increase your followme conversions too.
http://twittersplit.com/
.
theme for your blogs; as always, if you choose to modify this theme in any way, I would appreciate it if you could keep my credits in the stylesheet and a link in the footer. I still have plans to release my own colour modifications
this is definitely helpful. i cant see using all these at once, but a couple together will bee a nice value
Great, everything I needed is here!!
Does anyone know how to pull in a tweet feed from a tweet feed search, for example, I would like to show all the tweets within a 1 mile radius from zip code 50309. I can easily do this on twitters website but haven’t found a plug in to get this information into my sidebar nicely.
Great list!
dont forget http://www.tweeterized.com
I notice you are not using any …
Thanks, couldn’t find the right one untill this post :)
I’m a big fan of TwitterTools and use it on a number of my blogs. Always helps bring traffic in too.

Interesting list. Hadn’t heard of TwitThis; it’s a bit like Tweet This which I created, except it uses JavaScript, whereas my plugin allows your readers to share your posts on Twitter with a TinyURL (or is.gd, Th8.us, etc.) created and stored in your WP database.
I was disappointed that most of the Twitter plugins are for displaying your tweets rather than facilitating the sharing of your content by others, which was the reason for Tweet This.
I shall have to give these a try. Seems useful.
thanks for the list.. i’ll check em one by one..
Thanks for the Twitter info. I’ll be checking them all out and seeing what works best for me
I made a live twitter feed/updater that uses monitter/ajax to display the latest tweets
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/live-real-time-twitter-monitter/
Thanks for the great list. I was searching for WP Twitter plugins and found your list!
Thanks for the twitter plugin links. Just what I need.

Hi
Thanks for all the tools. I hope to intergrate twitter on my blog as a tool where I can upload thoughts and ideas from my mobile.
Very good list!
I was looking for this. Thanks.
Another cool Twitter badge which works with WP and other websites (MySpace, blogger, etc.) is http://saytweet.com – you can make a badge using any picture you want!
How is it possible ? .. Twitme isnt even on the list :(
Nice info, but I ended up liking just the Twitter’s Javascript badge.
I have been looking for a plugin on wordpress for twitter. Glad I found this post!
Hey,
You guys are giving away some very useful information on this site.
Hats off for making this info available to everyone.
Happy New Year,
Sam England
The twitter updater sounds like a really good plugin – i’ll be trying that one out for sure, thanks :)

Is this the site to post general comments …. my first time in here?

Really great list
Cool list! Thank you for posting this:)
I use Tweet This
Twitter really rocks when used correctly
You missed http://www.tweetmeme.com, basically twitter for digg.
That’s cool…I am just look for it!
I wanted it. Great list, thanks.
Great start!
How about this one:
http://www.AddTwitter.com – > follow me for blogs
Do these Twitter Tools work on WP.com?
Just wonderin’…
Continually providing content to make the rest of our lives easier…Thanks
Thanks for that great list, i will try Twitter Wordpress Sidebar Widget.
I didnt know there were twitter wp plugins. Thanks for pointing this out. This is a new discovery for me.
Thanks for description and listing of the top ten twitter plugins.
This is a great post that I’m sure to check back for updates.
Great list.
Just what I was looking for.
any aggregatot plugins for WP out there? and how about WP MU plugins? any clues?
I wanted it. Great list, thanks.
Great Stuff!
These are really nifty tools to use, great.
But you know what I wanted for my site? Just a listing of all messages I wrote, and were written to me.
So I created ShowTweets, a twitter plugin, which is also opensource and available for others to use.
Anything that can be searched on the twitter site, can be displayed in the plugin.
You can check the documentation and installation instructions out at http://www.ongevraagdadvies.nl/showtweets-plugin/
Hope it helps out someone! :-)
So many list dunno which one i should use. Thanks for the list dude, gonna try it one by one.
yeah so many options, i would like to know if someone finds which one is the best so far, for updating twitter with every latest posts on wordpress automatically?
Great list buddy.. Keep it up….
Don’t forget to add TwitBuddies.com to the list. This is an awesome website based on the API that lets you check if BritneySpears and Google are friends on twitter! You can check any two members and see if they are followers of each other!
Thanks for posting such a wonderful source of Twitter information. Twitter has become quite a social media tool, hasn’t it? I recently wrote a blog about Twitter on the internet, What the Tweet?. When you get a chance, please stop by and read it. I would appreciate any comments you have to offer on OceanZealot’s Ramblings
Will try Twitter Wordpress Sidebar Widget.
and very thanks for this great list………
Great post and very useful tips since I decided to start playing with twitter, love it :)
tweetsuite is full of bugs, and no support, so I cant trust your list if it remains.
Thank you for this great list. Now using Tweet This and Twitter Wordpress Sidebar Widget on our blog.
Thanks a lotIll probably be implementing some of them.
Thanks for sharing your list with us.
I was using one of your tool with great effect on my business.
Thanks again,
Vikash
Great article!
There is another excellent plugin that I use called Twitter For Wordpress that can be found here (http://rick.jinlabs.com/code/twitter/) at Ricks Hideout.
I’ve also wrote a tutorial on how to install the plugin into your Wordpress Sidebar in 3 Easy Steps here (http://desndev.com/how-to-add-twitter-to-your-wordpress-blog-sidebar-in-3-easy-steps/)
Enjoy!
I was searcging twitter plugins. These pluguins for me. Very thanks.
(I did not use yet but I guess, The Twitter Updater plugin better for my requests)
Perfect. I have been thinking of integrating Twitter on my website for quite some tie now. I was searching on the web and this seems to be one of the best posts on Twitte tools that can be integrated on Wordpress blogs. Great stuff.
Hi, good list.
I found your topic when I was looking for some twitter tools for wordpress.
I’ve been wondering about it, so thank for writing. I’ll try Twitter Tools :)
I want to check to whom and how many followers i have sent direct messages. Is there any tool to do so?
Kewl that many plug-ins. I have several. one that shows the number of followers, I also have Tweetbacks on with my post, as well as, when I make my post it sends a Tweet to Twitter. I am sure as Twitter progresses with more services and such, there will be even tons more to come out. Thanks for posting this information.
Any updates to these tools list for twitter?
Great list of plugins for WordPress. Twitter is growing very quickly these days! Another useful tip would be to make sure to get a Twitter background for your profile. Take advantage of the space and even put your blog URL in your background. After all and image is more noticeable then a text link.
Thanks for the plugins. I’ll check out most of them. I need a plugin which displays my registered users tweets, but I think it isn’t hard to modify one of those plugins listed in your post.
Thanks so much for the twitter tools for WordPress! Much appreciated. And the additional ones on the thread are great too. I’ll have to get to work to incorporate some of them now ;-)
I wanted it. Great list, thanks.
You have a great blog here and it is Nice to read some well written posts that have some relevancy…keep up the good work ;)
nice plugin for wp and twitter. thank for sharing
Nice. I have been recently getting deep into twitter and learning ways that are good for Marketing and such. I want to see more apps for it!
Great post, definitely a must if you want to remove that extra step of cutting/pasting…at least in my case!
I was actually looking for a ‘follow me on twitter’ plugin that would add a little icon after each post, but a few of these plugins piqued my interest. Thanks.
Check out newstweet also – http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/newstweet/
I like Squawkthis Myself. It uses Oauth, so you dont have to give up your password. It also has Facebook, Digg and delicious links. http://squawkthis.com
Hi everyone, i just saw that in Linkedin is possible to see the posts where is mentioned My username (densitydesign). Do you know if there is a way to include the same function in wordpress?
Don’t use Twitter Tools !! Or your wordpress will become very very slow !
Be sure to know how to debug if you want to use it, dont know if they fix, but very bad experience for me
A couple years out of SEO, come back and now trying to grasp social media. Our Wordpress blog tweets automatically and I’m not even sure how. We don’t have any plugins installed that do Twitter. I guess I’ll meet with IT tomorrow. This is a great list of Twitter-ish plugins. Will have to pick one that allows me a bit more control that what I’ve got now.
Great information! Go on with the good work!
Nice links!
I’m just getting into the whole using Twitter to help promote blogs, websites, and businesses. So thanks for the links, really helpful. I’m going to be using at least two of those!
Hey Tweeple theres more tools here too though this list’s pretty good I think.
Thanks for this post – sadly, TweetSuite is too steady (no title-change for the widget allowed) and doesn’t seem to reload itsself even after 1 day. So no recommendation here…
Thank you,
found twitterfeed.com via your list – it’s a great tool.
Kind regards,
Sascha
Very well written post however, I would recommend that you turn the No Follow off in your comment section.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks exactly what I have been looking for. Nice site by the way, keep up the good work and good luck for the future.
A very nicely compiled list of twitter resources, while I use a few of these I look forward to trying out the wordpress sidebar widget.
Hi,
I want to add a tool on your list : Twitter Train.
You can submit at : http://TwitterTrainScript.com/Demo/
Best Regards
thanks for the hacks!
Great tools. I will definately apply this to my current blog (in hopes to help others achieve their dreams and goals).
Thanks for the twitter plugin links. I just usd Twitter tools. Thanks!!!

The Twitter Ticker is a new one to feature in the plugin directory:

Stylish and very slick. Uses the Twitter Search API.
Which one is the best ?

Twitter is really becoming the best social media for internet marketing. The above stated tools are really a must have for bloggers and marketers like me.
Thx for the list, i will try it all :).
Thanks for posting these tools. I’ve just started a new SEO/blogging site and wanted something a little different to integrate my different social networks. I’m going with the tweetsuite.
Quite an informative tool list, I’m going to check Tweet This, seems the easiest of all.

It really helped me a lot..All of my queries were solved by the scripts..
You should also have a look on the scripts, may be useful for you guys..

Thanks for the list of plugins. I’m still having a hard time though finding a plugin that shows the number of followers I have such as a feedburner counter, I found twittercounter to be the only site/plugin that gives such an option. Problem is that when someone clicks the subscribe/stats button instead of being brought to my twitter account to follow me they are brought to the twittercounter site to see my stats. I do not like that not do I like that you cannot follow me through a link on their site either. Basically they have me advertise for their whole site with me getting the honor to show my follower number :/
I am using Facebook style twitter widget on my blog. It look cool and eye catchy and give a facebook look.
“This is a best station for such kind of articles,your site is a inspiration for me.
i got so much benefits and good results after visiting here and the grace is increasing
day by day in your posts”
the above information is extremly essential……
Twitter works great for traffic to your blog, nice.
I’m just getting into the whole using Twitter to help promote blogs, websites, and businesses. So thanks for the links, really helpful. I’m going to be using at least two of those!
You have some great plugins on your post. Your insight and expertise would be a welcome addition to our new community, i hope you will consider joining, and thanks for sharing!
Very useful..thanks a lot
I use the “Twitter Tools” for my Wordpress-Pages, that’s a really great and simple tool.
Great links, Thanks for your information.
