Add Twitter Updates To Blog Sidebar – TwiBadge

TwiBadge is a Wordpress plugin, in a widget format that resides on your Wordpress blog sidebar. It displays all your Tweets and replies, basically what you see on twitter.com/home. TwiBadge also comes with a follow button that allow any interested visitors to easily add themselves as followers.

The plugin currently supports Wordpress 2.7, running on PHP5 only. I sure hope the developer will start catering for the lower versions as not everyone is running 2.7 yet, as far as I know. Looking at how Twitter, the mini-blogging web service has been strongly influencing the social network and blogosphere, any tools and services that can potentially help increase Twitter followers is definitely worth knowing and checking out.

TwiBadge is available for download here.

Well, maybe I will try it, but now I don’t want, to be honest I didn’t use twitter before, but since many bloggers like it, I will try

I’ve been using the html widget that twitter themselves supply… seems to work just fine for me… you’re able to style it using css

Was wondering if anyone knows how to filter out the @ replies firstly in the html widget but if not that then the twibadge one?

I thought it’s a great plugin and deserve a plug. If there’s any good stuff (greater if they are free), please feel free to share with me :-)

i just installed this on my blog in the sidebar but it cuts the part off where it says “login” and “follow.” My sidebar is only 160 wide and when I change the dimension to 160 it doesn’t make the text smaller, it just cuts it off and looks messed up. any ideas how to fix this?

I use Alex King’s free WordPress plugin Twitter Tools – for those who want them, it has a lot of great options:

You can specify the number of Tweets you want to include.
You can choose a sort order.
You can exclude @replies.
You can create daily or weekly digests of your tweets.
It also allows you to create Tweets from your sidebar.

Love your website, lots of useful info here! Thanks and cheers … remember to expect good things.
