Twitter has become more and more popular this days and that’s why it has become one of the best web marketing tools. Building a successful online based business is pretty hard and most of it depends on the way you promote your product. In today’s post I’ve selected some of the top Twitter plugins for WordPress that will help you improve your business by growing your popularity on Twitter.
Is true that most of your Twitter success is based on how many Twitter followers you have, but that’s definitely not all. If you want to have full success with Twitter and your site, than you should definitely create a fusion between them and make them “friends”. When I say “friends” I mean to create a relationship between them and let people to see what’s on your twitter profile when they are visiting your web site.
Another thing that I believe is vital for creating a link between your twitter account and your WordPress blog is the Twitter Feed. Twitter Feed will automatically post a Twitter Update linking to your latest post, and also will post a short excerpt of the post. I really believe that this 25 Twitter plugins will do a great part of your optimizing and maintaining job.
Because there are 35 plugins, the images can make the loading time a little bit slow. That’s why I decided to display only screenshoot images for first 20 plugins.

Thanks for compiling this list. One thing I’m looking for in Twitter, wordpress integration:
When somebody tweets a message containing a hashtag (e.g. #w3mag382) this tweets get pulled from twitter search and gets input in the comment fields of wordpress. This way you can both use wordpress comments or use twitter to comment on an blog article as well. If anyone knows of such a plugin please contact me. Thank you in advance.

Is there a twitter plugin that scrolls the feeds?
Honestly, I have no knowledge about a plugin that scrolls the feed, but I will update this list when I find one.
Can people really make money on Twitter? I have been reading this web site that says people can.
This is truly interesting, but as a person very new to all of this, I have no idea how to decide whether to be thinking in terms of using 1, 2, 3…or all of these. I don’t know how they overlap, what happens if I use ‘too many’, does too many ‘junk up’ my wordpress blog and/or the “related accounts” for twitter, facebook, and youtube. At this point I simply have created the 4 accounts ['blogthecrabbies' for WP; 'CrabbieMasters' for Twitter/Facebook/YouTube all] and want to ‘integrate’ them for the best user experience – and 35 great ways just to link WP & Twitter has my brain spinning…any suggestions?
Very nice blog, your article is interesting, i have bookmarked it for future referrence
