I installed the plugin but haven’t had a chance to see it in action yet. Repairing my site after a hacker changed my theme layout this weekend :( I can’t wait to see if Twitter enhances my blog friends visits.

Sounds like a neat idea, but I may wait to implement based on Chris Jacobson’s comment unless someone else can offer a verified solution.
Thanks!

I tried out the plugin and it broke my image uploader. No idea why, but disabling the plugin fixed the database error while trying to upload an image.

A great concept, and I thinkl ’social proof’ is an important guide to quality and context for readers.

However the way one displays, say 50 tweets and retweets in terms of screen real estate concerns me slightly – a collapsible or threaded approach might be ideal, especially with so many people now using mobile devices to interact online.

Regards, David

PS: I covered this plugin on my blog today, incidentally, along with discussing ‘Twittar’, which shows Twitter Avatars on WordPress comments. See http://twurl.nl/ey1vxu

Social proof is an important element in social marketing and the ability to display how many Tweets a blog post has received would certainly be strong social proof of the “quality” of your content!

Yoast (http://www.yoast.com) has just released a self hosted tweetbacks plugin for wordpress. This saves all tweets to your DB instead of just displaying them via javascript.

In addition, I myself have written “Tweet Stats”, which adds two widgets to your site: “Most Tweeted Posts” and “Recently Tweeted Posts”.

More info here:

I feel that Twitter is going to replace Google soon. I read a lot of posts and most of them are about Twitter or its supporting services. To what extent that twitter can go in the future. You should add a poll to see how
