I have been using Twitter since November of 2007.  I have not been as consistent as I like with it, but have found it useful.  Now, I have found a new WordPress Plugin - TweetBacks.  TweetBacks are similar to Trackbacks.  Instead of listing the blogs that list to a post, it lists the Tweets to a post.

You can include this line of code from Dan Zarella, the developer:

<script src=”http://danzarrella.com/tb.js”></script>

You can style how the list appears with CSS like this:

#tweetbacks {
font-size:12px;
}
#tweetbacks li {
padding-bottom:5px;
}

Or, you can install his new TweetSuite Plugin. The plugin includes the following features:

* Server-side (no-JS or remote calls) TweetBacks
* ReTweet-This buttons for each TweetBack
* A digg-like Tweet-This Button
* Automatic Tweeting of new posts
* A Most-Tweeted Widget
* A Recently-Tweeted Widget
* A My-Last-Tweets Widget
* A My-Favorited-Tweets Widget

Unzip the plugin and then copy the folder to your wp-content directory on your server.  Activate the plugin and then click on TweetSuite under settings.  This is where you can customize your TweetSuite Settings.  You can see the items that I checked:

Next, head on over to your Design tab and add the Widgets you want on your side bar.  I have added Recently Tweeted and My Tweets to my sidebar.

Go ahead, Tweet this post and see if it appears in the TweetBacks!
