Glen Stansberry is a web developer and blogger. You can read more tips on web development at his blog Web Jackalope or follow him on Twitter.

1. Twitter Widgets

If you're just getting started with wanting to integrate Twitter into your site, than simply adding the traditional Twitter widget to your site's sidebar is a great start. It's not sexy, but it's a great way to show your latest tweets on your website. It's an effective way to get readers involved into your Twitter updates, without taking up too much screen real estate.

Twitter widgets can be used with virtually any site or blog, including HTMl-only pages. While they may not require the most exciting development hack to incorporate Twitter into a website (copy + paste), simplicity is not a bad thing.

2. Twitter Buttons

Twitter Buttons is a nifty little service that helps you quickly create a badge to promote your Twitter account. You can choose from over 40 different well-designed Twitter buttons, spanning different shapes and sizes. The service also allows you to automatically create the HTML needed to build the badge without any programming knowledge, not even a teensy bit. Easy peasy.

3. Twitter Tools

Thanks to Wordpress' dominance in the blog software world, many blog owners are using Alex King's excellent Twitter Tools to integrate Twitter into their blogs. Twitter tools is a Twitter Swiss Army knife for Wordpress, adding almost limitless functionality to an otherwise Twitter-less blog. The nifty plugin allows you to:

  • Create a blog post from each of your tweets
  • Create a daily digest post of your tweets
  • Create a tweet on Twitter whenever you post in your blog, with a link to the blog post
  • Post a tweet from your sidebar
  • Pass your tweets along to another service (via API hook)

... and much more.

4. TwitThis

Twitter is a powerful promotional tool. Many influential Twitterers have thousands of followers, and an endorsement from one of the "Twitterati" could send a wave of traffic to your site. If you factor in that those followers might tweet to their followers, than you have a very viral social marketing tool.

TwitThis is a little button that you can place in your HTML or in your blog template to allow your readers to quickly and easily share what they're reading with their Twitter followers. Aside from an HTML button, users can also "tweet" their findings via a bookmarklet, and Wordpress users have a nifty plugin they can install as well.

5. TweetSuite

TweetSuite is one of the most compelling uses of the Twitter API in a blog plugin. TweetSuite is a Wordpress plugin that furrows among the Twitter API and finds the tweets that reference the current page. It adds another aspect to commenting, showing more of the total conversation around the blog post. Aside from that, TweetSuite boasts some impressive functionality like a Retweet button and a "Tweet this" button (like the famed "Digg this" button).

6. Chirrup

TweetSuite is currently offered only for Wordpress blogs, but there is another solution for pulling Twitter comments across any platform: Chirrup. Chirrup allows you to display all of the references from Twitter on a given webpage (much like TweetSuite), except it does this by only adding a Javascript snippet. Chirrup is a PHP/Javascript program that has to be hosted locally, but only requires a tiny Javascript include to work on any page. This means that any static HTML page can now have a Twitter-based commenting system.

That's a lot of marketing potential for sites wanting to tap into Twitter.

7. Tweet This

Tweet This is a Wordpress plugin that has much of the same functionality as TwitThis, with a few more bells and whistles. Tweet This automatically shortens your website or blog post URL with a URL shortening service, and also allows you to easily configure the look and feel of the service, without having to dig around in the template code too much. It's a simple drop-in solution for Wordpress blogs, but a powerful way to help spread your content among readers on Twitter.

8. IntenseDebate

IntenseDebate is one of the best 3rd-party commenting systems on the web. The service is famous for its threaded comments, user system and rating, excellent design and ease of installation. Yet one of the most progressive features in IntenseDebate's deep feature set is the ability to notify Twitter when you've made a comment. Not only does this feature help the commenter showcase what he's yakking about online, it also gives the originating site some more attention on Twitter.

9. Aweber

Prized for it's stellar email marketing features, Aweber has an excellent feature for any newsletter marketer: The ability to tweet the newsletter. The newsletter delivery service has actually created a way to convert RSS to Email to Tweet (if you can wrap your head around that).

There are many site owners who run incredibly successful email newsletters, so this feature is very useful for those wanting to bring that extra bit of awareness to a newsletter.

10. Twitterfeed

Last, but certainly not least, is a pioneer of website and Twitter integration: Twitterfeed. Twitterfeed allows you to automatically insert tweets into your Twitter stream from any RSS feed. Many blogs utilize this functionality to let their Twitter followers know when new content is available. You can tailor the format of the generated tweets, and it's a great way to keep your Twitter followers engaged on your blog.

    Great article!

    To add search related twitter streams into your site you can play with magpie RSS (http://magpierss.sourceforge.net/) and follow the Twitter RSS feed associated to your search query.

    E.g. I´ve done this to display this stream related to the term “Velociroflcopter” for a SEO battle some weeks ago (http://www.jan-quickels.de/velociroflcoptersaurus/)

    If you have any questions related to this feel free to contact me!

    If you’re not into wordpress, you can pretty easily make your own “tweetthis” button for a webpage. All you need is some simple javascript and any url-shortening service with an API.

      I think that view is shared by many.

      Its not so much the day to day “having a cup of tea” tweets but the relevant stuff. Its networking and sharing best practice. There are thousands of ways that the micro blog is being used for.

      One example: Consider the posts you read – like this one, if you told some of your followers about this post, then people who share the same interests would want to know what other interesting stuff you read. Conversely, if you followed someone who had found this post and tweeted it, then you may pick up some useful hints and tips and get directed quickly to info that may help you.

        the challenge is some one tweets a good bit of info like this blog post then their followers pick it up and inturn tweet the same info to their followers some whom are different but down the line the info in repeated numerous times to the same folks eg i have seen this post on several of the folks i follow

    You may want to make a separate twitter account for something like twitterfeed or aweber, if you are the type to post frequently this can lose you followers. Give your followers the chance to choose if they want to follow your site updates by twitter.

    I’m still not completely on board with this whole Twitter phenomenon. I think it’s become much more than a way to let your friends know what you’re doing, and I haven’t really been able to figure out how to properly utilize that yet.

    Should I essentially be setting up a Twitter-for-business account?

    If you’re using Drupal, you can also use the Twitter module (drupal.org/project/twitter) to do most of the things mentioned above. For multi-user sites, each contributor can have their own account, and all their tweets can be aggregated into a “What we’re talking about…” sidebar, etc.

    Twitter has become much more that just a social medium where you let your friends know what you are doing. It has become a marketing tool for internet entreurpenuers to get their word out to the masses. It is the new craze and I think if you do run an internet company you might as well jump on the bandwagon or you are missing out big time.

    Great post these tips will be very helpful for people to combine twitter and their website together. Currently i have a twitter counter on my website. Good work.

    @TheDoc – I find the most useful tweeters are posting links to articles/sites they are reading. I use it to post links to good guitar lesson videos I find (via my blog). I’ve also found that you can actually chat with high profile people who are on twitter whereas emailing them doesn’t usually get a response.

    Surely, the Twitter API itself could be classed as an ‘awesome’ way to intergrate with your own site? It allows for the low level access that most of these services are running on, is free, simple to use, and avoids anything third party, allowing you to display pretty much anything you want, how you want on your own site?

    I use Twitter on my site via a JSON file, which I pull into my site using PHP. I can then check if a message was posted directly into Twitter or whether I sent an SMS message from my phone while I was out on the move (so essentially I can update the home page of my website while I’m out and about). Great stuff!

    Do NOT use TweetSuite, it will slow down your blog!

    It is written improperly. It attempts to use the tr.im bookmarklet to shorten the URL (indeed the author didn’t even have the courtesy to use the tr.im API). API like traffic for tr.im must use the API, that is what it is there for. Additionally it wouldn’t work even if he had written it improperly because he doesn’t understand how some URL shorteners such as tr.im work.

    The author has refused to fix his wordpress plugin and remove tr.im. As a result tr.im is banning any traffic coming from a blog using this plugin. This will slow down your pageloads for several seconds before it times out on its connection to tr.im.

    -I want a simple Twitter widget, which I can implement in my website, which will display any post containing specific keywords.

    For example, I could have a website about Rock guitars and anytime the word ‘Guitar’ is mentioned on Twitter, I would like to have it displayed on my website.

    Can anyone recommend anything please?

    Does anyone have experience with implementing TweetSuite with a Wordpress self hosted blog? I would be willing to pay for some help or trade out an ad spot on my site.

    Most of the ‘plugins’ are for Wordpress… Are there some for TypePad as well?

    I’d include Chat Catcher in any Top 10 list of Twitter tools. Terrific tool to connect tweets that mention a post you’ve written, with links to those tweets inserted in the comments of that post. There’s a plugin for WordPress blogs.

    I’m looking for a Twitter tool that will let me pull in a few select feeds onto my blog. I had found one for Wordpress, but it required a CRON job and didn’t seem to work right. Are there any that work well?

    Looks like you forgot a HUGE tool here? TwitMe: http://www.phpvrouwen.nl/twitme/

    Twitme is almost a replacement for Twitter on your Wordpress blog because it mirrors a lot of the functionality of Twitter. You can send and receive tweets right from the admin interface. Importantly also is the ability to automatically tweet all new posts and re-tweet older posts to twitter.

    Does anybody know a twitter-tool, that let’s you
    1. create a private Twitter-Group and
    2. let’s you integrate that group into your own webpage (wordpress), so that group-people can twitter directly on your page (maybee kinda widget)?

    Kind of this type: http://trendschau.twoday.net/stories/5614297/ (sorry, it’s in german)

    That would be nice to bind a thematic fitting group of people to your homepage (instead of a forum).

    I don’t know, if this way to integrate twitter-groups is possible with chirrup?

    I’ve been concentrating on getting my blog posts to twitter. But I hadn’t thought of putting my tweets on a blog. It seems the medium usually gos from the larger space (a blog) to the smaller space ( a twitter profile). Thanks for this idea.

    Great collection of twitter tools Glen.

    By sharing and explaining your knowledge and skills your phones will start to ring off the hook. Many people such as myself look to experts like you to get a grasp of how I can use the twitter apps and tools to promote my business in a non offending way. The conventional means to market products is gradually going away.

    TweetSuite is one of my personal favorites. It does everything I want my blog to do regarding Twitter. But I might have to abandon it for Chirrup.
