10 Best Twitter Tools for Wordpress Blogs

Twitter is causing quite a buzz in the blogosphere. Everyone is talking about it and wondering why it is so popular. Anyway since it is popular, and maybe you are already addicted to it, here is a collection of top 10 twitter tools to integrate with your wordpress blog.

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.
SimpleTwitter - is a plug-in for WordPress which enables WordPress blog owners to easily add Twitter messages to their templates.
Twitter Sharts - ‘Shart’ your twitter status anywhere within your wordpress blog posts or pages.
RSS to Twitter - is a PHP script to feed RSS to Twitter.

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.

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:
