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 lot…I’ll 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.
