With twitter becoming popular day by day, it has now become a great way to attract readers from twitter for your blog and grow the community. There are many twitter plugins out there and thus I am listing here 5 Popular Twitter Plugins which you can install in your blog that could help in increasing the fun for your commentators, readers and twitter followers.
1. WP-Twittip ID
WP-Twittip ID plugin adds an extra field in the comments section of your blog so your readers can enter their twitter profile usernames. The plugin then shows the twitter username and links to his/her twitter profile. I installed this plugin in the recent update of making commenting on this blog better. Till now it has been a great thing for my readers.
2. Tweetmeme
TweetMeme Plugin enables your readers to tweet your article, if they like it, to their twitter profile. The plugin provides a shorten link and a Title of the article. With every unique tweet the counter goes up by 1 point. An alternative of this plugin is TwitThis which is also popular amongst many bloggers. This has proved a very good way to increase blog readership.
3. Twittar
This simple little plugin – Twittar from SmashingMagazine, adds the Twitter avatars in the comment section by matching the email address to the user’s Twitter email address. Suppose if that user still doesn’t uses twitter then it will load a gravatar of that email ID and if he doesn’t have a gravatar also, then it will load a default image. Installing this plugin will have a better appearance in the comment section with all the commentators with their own image in his comments.
4. Tweetbacks
The Tweetbacks imports the tweets/conversation about an article on your blog and enters it in the comments section. You can display among other comments of the article or show them separately. So, when someone tweets with the URL of your blog or any of your items, it will automatically be included in the comments section of your blog.
5. Twitter Tools
Twitter Tools plugin integrates your twitter account with your wordpress blog. With this you can show weekly collection of your tweets and publish them automatically as a article on the blog. Plus you can also show latest tweets from your twitter account in the sidebar through the widget.
I hope these 5 plugins for Twitter will help you to incorporate Twitter into your blog. Doing this will make your blog more interactive and more attractive for other Twitter users and may result in more comments from users of Twitter and you could see an increase in the number of followers and readers.
So What are your favorite one amongst these? Also do tell me if you use any other popular twitter plugin on your blog.

For blogger platform there are few gadgets available like tweetmeme. Also if you know about Amanda, the owner of bloggerbuster.com then she recently published an article about “16 twitter tools which can be used on blogger platform”.
Here is the article link:

I use tweetmeme. I see almost all blogger using that plugin. It is a really good plugin. I am also planning to use twitter badge plugin (floating image).
.-= Ricky´s last blog ..[How To]Find The Best Free Web host Provider =-.
I had been using Tweetmeme for quite some time, I realize when you post, their system seems to take about a few hours before it ping your post, I’m not sure you also got this or not, but usually it shows a question mark and after a few hours it will be able to tweet… Kind strange…
.-= The Bad Blogger´s last blog ..The Bad Blogger Swears Under Oath That Alex Of Blogussion’s “Secrets To More Effective Blogging” Can Only Be Done If You Know Your Subject Cold ! =-.
Ya this problem also happened with me. Then I created a trick by myself. Actually I started using, the original wordpress plugin from tweetmeme plus also placed the button code in my template.
So this solved my problem i.e use wordpress plugin rather than using only button code solves the problem according to me.
Thanks for the List Typhoon! As we are still getting our feet wet with Twitter… these are definitely some tools we will check out. We were using Twittley on our site for a while, but it started having some issues with the button not appearing on the site. We are thinking about giving TweetMeMe a try.
.-= Doug Dillard´s last blog ..Adding Videos Can Liven Up Your Site =-.
Ya I have seen the error of twittley not appearing many times and showing a Heading(1) size “Internal Server Error” message. That’s why I use tweetmeme as that problem doesn’t occurs in this.
Twitter Feed and Tweetmeme, is all I need for my Twitter account. The other tools might be a bit much for my simple Twitter needs.

WP-Twittip ID in this blog is so great, no wonder why many people like to comment here. I think this is best strategy to attract people to come.

I had never heard of TweetMeMe. It sounds like a great plugin. I am also curious as to twitter links in comments.
Hey – Im just getting started with Twitter so this post has particular interest to me! I’ll definitely give all of these plugins a try

I love Twittar. I’ve seen it being implemented on more and more blogs these days. It’s very useful to put a face to the name.
I’ve never heard of Tweetbacks. I’ll have to look into it, because it sounds useful, just as another way to track down when people are talking about you or your site. Will it still work if someone uses a URL shortener, like Bit.ly or TinyURL.com ?
Tweetbacks is actually an interesting concept I’ve tried on my blog. If you’re in the right niche and your blog is getting tweeted it’s kind of cool to see.

I couldn’t live without Tweetmeme on some of my blogs, it’s a great plugin and a must have for bloggers in certain niches.

I like Twitter Tools and the Tweetmeme button the best. The growth of people using Twitter is nothing short of amazing. I wish I had thought of it.
I love the number 5 tool where it collects all tweets and then transform them into a brand new article all by themselves. That saves a whole amount of precious time in writing a new post to your blog. But I hope you included a good twitter plugin for automatcially tweeting your posts. I know there maybe a handful of options, but can you recommend the best one for wordpress?
