If you didn’t know how to make blogging and twitter meet, check these out:

• Add to Any (plugin) – Help readers share, save, bookmark, and email your posts and pages using any service, such as Facebook, Twitter, Digg, Delicious, and over 100 more social bookmarking and sharing sites. The button comes with Add to Any’s customizable Smart Menu, which places the services visitors use at the top of the menu, based on each visitor’s browsing history.
• TweetMe (plugin) – Automatically shrinks and sends your url to twitter and lets your users share your content on twitter. There is also a non-wordpress version located here
• TwitPress – Submits a user definable tweet to your twitter account notifying any twitter followers or friends that a new blog entry has been published on your blog (or an existing published entry has been edited). Supports inclusion of a permalink to your blog posting in the tweet.
• TwitterCounter – Allows you to integrate TwitterCounter badges on your blog.
• TwitThis – TwitThis is an easy way for people to send Twitter messages about your blog post or website.
• MyTwitter – MyTwitter allows users to display their recent Twitter status updates (tweets) on their WordPress site and update their status through the Options page. Includes customization options including number of recent twitters to display, formatting options, and stylesheets. It can be called as a function or used as a widget.

I copy-pasted some of the descriptions from their original websites, I hope you don’t mind :)

Try’em out, enjoy them, and don’t forget to comment on this post.

Cheers!

We’ll talk a little about mobile clients, email clients, IM, widgets, etc, as we know twitter supports updating by phone and many other ways. Actually this is what twitter was built for, to give the users the possibility to update their status from anywhere, even if they don’t have internet connection.

As for mobile clients (I’m not talking about updating by SMS, that’s supported by every cell phone, but regular apps that you can install and run from your mobile):

• TwitterBerry – It works over the data network, so you don’t need to use SMS
• TwitterMail – Tweet via email, its name says everything
• OutTwit – Update via outlook
• TwitterIM – Same as Tiwttermail

There are also few widgets and addons supported by firefox and opera, if you need any of them simply google for “firefox twitter add-on” or “opera….” and you’ll find plenty of them for sure.

See ya next time!

This is probably the funniest part of twitter tools, the desktop clients. You can get your replies / messages without destroying your F5 key on your keyboard :)

So, my help for you on this issue:

• Twhirl – I started using it few days ago and I must say I enjoyed playing with it. The coolest thing seems to be the retweet button (not present on twitter.com)
• TweetDeck – Many say it’s crashing, I didn’t try it to be honest, but it seems promissing
• GTwitter – As almost every software on this planet, the twitter desktop clients have an equivalent for linux as well
• Witty – Twitter for Vista
• TwitterPod – Twitter client for mac. I don’t have a mac so I didn’t try it.
• Twitterific – Another one for mac
• Snitter – This one has a version for Mac and Windows as well. Didn’t try it but seems to be cool

If you’re using other desktop clients, simply reply to this post and I’ll be happy to add them here.
