WordPress Twitter Plugins, Tools, Widgets

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.

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!
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!
Twitter works great for traffic to your blog, nice.
“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……
I am using Facebook style twitter widget on my blog. It look cool and eye catchy and give a facebook look.
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 was also searching for the similar scripts for some of my clients & hit upon this place for the scripts..
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..
vere goode poste

like abuton on the sidebar
Great information. Very helpful will be using this info immediately. Would like more like these.

Here is another one for the list. http://www.twittericon.com . Has over 200K users and they can’t all be wrong.

Very good list indeed..i came here looking for a tweet updates wordpress plugin…anyway thanks for the list…
Quite an informative tool list, I’m going to check Tweet This, seems the easiest of 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.
Great to see this list, a little old though, have you updated it? Would love to see a 2009 twitter/wordpress posting. Thanks!
Which one is the best ?
Thanks.
The Twitter Ticker is a new one to feature in the plugin directory:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/twitter-ticker/
Stylish and very slick. Uses the Twitter Search API.
This is a nice collection of twitter tools. Twitter is now also in the top 10 sites of the web.

Great list of tools.. was wondering if you know of one that will allow you to import twitter comments into the comments on your blog?
Great, nice set of plugins, i just installed the retweet plugin on my site.
Hello,

Thanks for the twitter plugin links. I just usd Twitter tools. Thanks!!!
Great tools. I will definately apply this to my current blog (in hopes to help others achieve their dreams and goals).

You can submit at :
Best Regards
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.
Thanks exactly what I have been looking for. Nice site by the way, keep up the good work and good luck for the future.
Very well written post however, I would recommend that you turn the No Follow off in your comment section.
Keep up the good work.
Thank you,
found twitterfeed.com via your list – it’s a great tool.
Kind regards,
Sascha
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…
Hey Tweeple theres more tools here too though this list’s pretty good I think.
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!
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.
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
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?
I like Squawkthis Myself. It uses Oauth, so you dont have to give up your password. It also has Facebook, Digg and delicious links.
Check out newstweet also – https://wordpress.org/plugins/newstweet/
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.
Great post, definitely a must if you want to remove that extra step of cutting/pasting…at least in my case!
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!
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 ;)
I wanted it. Great list, thanks.
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 ;-)
