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.
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.
Any updates to these tools list for twitter?
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.
I want to check to whom and how many followers i have sent direct messages. Is there any tool to do so?
Hi, good list.

I’ve been wondering about it, so thank for writing. I’ll try Twitter Tools :)
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.
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)
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 )
Enjoy!
Thanks for sharing your list with us.
I was using one of your tool with great effect on my business.

Thank you for this great list. Now using Tweet This and Twitter WordPress Sidebar Widget on our blog.
tweetsuite is full of bugs, and no support, so I cant trust your list if it remains.
Great post and very useful tips since I decided to start playing with twitter, love it :)
and very thanks for this great list………
Will try Twitter WordPress Sidebar Widget.
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!
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?
So many list dunno which one i should use. Thanks for the list dude, gonna try it one by one.
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! :-)

The twitter updater sounds like a really good plugin – i’ll be trying that one out for sure, thanks :)
I have been looking for a plugin on wordpress for twitter. Glad I found this post!

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!
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.
Too bad. It only works for php5
Too bad for me… it’s also not working on PHP4 : ( … i shall update it urgent!
Very useful list, i’m new to Twitter so your list will be of great help, thanks!
This blog Is very informative , I am really pleased to post my comment on this blog . It helped me with ocean of knowledge so I really belive you will do much better in the future . Good job web master .
Thanks for the great list. I was searching for WP Twitter plugins and found your list!
I made a live twitter feed/updater that uses monitter/ajax to display the latest tweets
https://wordpress.org/plugins/live-real-time-twitter-monitter/
Thanks for the Twitter info. I’ll be checking them all out and seeing what works best for me
I shall have to give these a try. Seems useful.
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’m a big fan of TwitterTools and use it on a number of my blogs. Always helps bring traffic in too.

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.
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.

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
I use twittertools on my wordpress mu installation. its amazing with a nice tumblelog theme like t2!
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:
What is twitter?
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.
Great links, thanks a lot…I’ll probably be implementing some of them.
