There are a number of plugins available for twitter today, but out of them honestly only a few makes sense. Here’s a list of the best twitter plugins for wordpress.
- Alex Kings plugin or Twitter
Undisputedly the number one twitter plugin for wordpress.
What is remarkable about it
Allows you to post your tweets as a new post each time you tweet, automatically on your blog.
Great plugin, lot of functions, easy to handle. - Twitter update plugin for WordPress
This is probably is the opposite of Alex’s plugin, this one lets you tweet out your latest posts on twitter, while a new article is being published.
What is remarkable about it
It takes the burden off your shoulders of self promotion to your followers.
What could go wrong
Your followers may not like you “only” self promoting your articles all the time. - Twitter sidebar wordpress widget
This one is for the ardent twitter fan who does not want to do self promotion but get alerts from people whom he is following while he is busy blogging. It adds a small widget to the sidebar of your wordpress blog that will display all your latest tweets and updates.
What is remarkable about it
You could stylize it however you want using CSS and make it not look like a widget at all. - WordTwit Twitter plugin for WordPress
Pretty much a straight forward wordpress plugin that will display all your recent twitter tweets from friends on WordPress. - Eat It – Twitter plugin for WordPress
Twitterpress is a simple plugin to update your twitter account automatically whenever you publish a new post from your hosted wordpress blog. It’s not very layman friendly, but would be something geeks would like. - Twitt-too wordpress twitter plugin
This is a rich twitter plugin that will help you to integrate twitter to wordpress with ease. It allows you to update your twitter account with tweets directly from your blog. The display is cool it even has your avatar shown.
What is remarkable about it
It is completely AJAXified, making it a breeze to use it.

Integrating social sites always helps us to get more done in a shorter amount of time. Thanks for the blog post! It is nice to have a Twitter plugin review page all in one place.
Great. Just checked out these plugins and these are really commendable. Thanks for sharing.
good,
I have developed my own twitter plugin, but it was my first plugin for wordpress, and it was a little simple, but, good list you have here.
Since we are on the Twitter plugins for wordpress, 2 things…
1) “Topsy Retweet Button” is a simple, easy to set app with several options, color, text, placement, style and easy too use.
2) Is it just me or does your Twitter/FB button at the top continue to say “loading”… not sure what’s up with that. but wanted to point it out to you.
