Twittering follow-up

Following the twitter sidebar post a few days ago I’ve been pointed at a host of Wordpress specific info and general Twitter tools which I thought may be of interest. Logic being that if you add your twitter bar to your site it had better say something useful, so you probably need tools to help with your twittering interaction while away from WordPress.

twitter.pngFirst up wordpress.com has a twitter account set up so that total WP junkies can keep WAY more up to date than is probably healthy. Announcement on the wordpress.com blog. While we’re on wordpress.com the wordpress tag tracking pages are often an interesting source of slightly tangential content - the twitter page is here.

As twitter tool round ups go this one from John Wiseman is pretty useful (I won’t rip it off, just check it on his site). Twittervision is my favourite on the list, when Scoble covered it earlier in the week I immediately had it running over 3 screens at reasonable zoom. Guaranteed to give you that Bond Villian feeling.

Another test of the alex king tool on a busy, interesting site here which highlights my main fear of the sidebar - so many cool things to do, so looong a sidebar.

Twitterholic will help you know if you twitter too much. You make it onto that site and you ARE twittering too much. Trust me. Way too much.

Another twitter wordpress plugin is available here. Has anyone tried this one, I’d be interested in experiences and how the lag is handled.

If you want to add me, go here, among the usual notes and trivia I’ll flag new posts and requests for input on theme reviews etc…

    I promised not to post another twitter post for a couple of days, but just found this plugin.
    Basically it adds a button to your posts which say “twit this” making it easy for your Twitter using visitors to tweet about your post. I;m not sure if it shows the button to everyone, or just those people who are twitter enabled.
