Twitter wins in my book

By On September 18, 2007 · 46 Comments · In Uncategorized
Heh, quite a while back I had written a port on twitter vs pownce. And finally I think i’ll writemy conclusion. I LOVE twitter! I use to think that it was completely irrelevant and dumb, but I think it is a brilliant application. Brilliant in the sense that it allows you to just connect with your friends or update them on whats going on with you. It is pretty cool… So Gavin hehe nope i disagree on twitter being dumb lol. It’s just great for social networking. The one-sentence-blog-tool, lol. Anyways I went around searching for plugins that will accommodate my twitting lifestyle. And found a few that would be quite useful, for wordpress blogs and also as a desktop application. WordPress Twitter Plugins After going through a few, I found these to be very handy and kudos to the guy who made it. (Clap, clap, clap) [Taking off from Quickonlinetips, I'd like to try breaking down the twit tools that worked for me.]
  1. Twitter Badge – Twitter of course already came up with their own official badge javascript codes that displays what you are posting on Twitter. Just what I don’t like about it, is that everyone has one lol. It is like a huge Twitter icon. But it serves the purpose.
  2. 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.
  3. Twitter Tools – A complete integration between your WordPress blog and Twitter. Bring your tweets into your blog and pass your blog posts to Twitter, done by Alex King. I really like this tool, as I can even twit while I’m writing a new post up on my blog. So it’s real handy when i just want to state something, in the midst of my lonnnggg winded posts.
  4. Twitter WordPress Sidebar Widget – As it says, it’s a twitter sidebar widget, which allows you to customise the number of twits you’d like to show and you can even style the css of it, though I haven’t tried.
  5. Twitt-Twoo – I really wish I could use this plugin, but unfortunately it doesn’t seem to settle well with my layout :( , but it is, if it worked, a prettya nd simple twitter plugin, which even has a pic of you on it. It is AJAX powered and allows for quick and easy status updates.
  6. SimpleTwitter – If you want something that is simple, fast and easy to install, this is for you. No coding ofdesign and what not, just plain text.
Twitter Tools on the Deskto Twitteroo - currenly I’m trying this one out. and it looks fairly good. Update and find out what your twitting friends are saying all on your desktop. And it’s not sore on the eyes too.
