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!
