Comments on: The Best Twitter Wordpress Widgets – the good, the bad, the ugly http://jafoca.com/tech/the-best-twitter-wordpress-widgets-the-good-the-bad-the-ugly Cramming as much into my life as possible. Tech product reviews, work, etc...

Anyhow, I will look into Twitter Tools - TweetBoard wasn't quite out yet when I was looking into this, and looks a bit heavyweight for what I am looking at doing (for clients, at least). I have also been pretty impressed recently to see some new WP themes with built in Twitter widgets - I think I will be upgrading this site to one of those sometime soon. Didn't know that you were a web dev - should have figured somebody was, as I was always pretty impressed with FHBCGR.org!

Anyway...here goes: Thanks for this post, I will be going over it in more detail as I analyze Wordpress / Twitter integration on upcoming sites. A couple I wondered about, if you are getting paid to do the research anyway ;), would be Twitter Tools by Alex King (seems to be bi-directional in terms of updates), and Tweetboard (http://www.tweetboard.com). TweetBoard is completely different, but may exceed your clients expectations - who knows? Still thinking through the WP / Twitter strategy...good stuff.
