This plugin hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.

Twitter Mentions As Comments

विवरण

Twitter Mentions as Comments does exactly what it promises to do – scours Twitter for people talking about your blog posts and silently inserts their Tweets alongside your existing comments. The plugin leverages the power of WordPress’s built-in commenting system – notification, comment moderation, author white/black listing – making Twitter an extension of your blog.

Features

  • Searches for Tweets linking to your blog posts, regardless of the URL shortener used (using Twitter’s Search API)
  • Pushes Tweets into WordPress’s existing comment workflow – notifications, comment moderation, and author whitelists/blacklists work just like any other comment
  • Fetches user’s real name and profile picture and links directly to the original Tweet
  • Checks automatically – no need to do a thing
  • Option to automatically exclude ReTweets
  • Option to store tweets as trackbacks/pingbacks
  • Option to specify which posts to check (e.g., 10 most recent posts, all posts, front page only)
  • Smart Caching of Tweets and user data – retrieves only what it needs to save on API calls and server load

Planned Features

  • Dynamic resizing of Twitter profile images to fit WordPress theme
  • Prioritization of newer posts
  • Oauth Authentication to raise API limit (currently unlimited Tweets, but limited to 150 new comment authors per hour)
  • Smarter API throttling

You can see it in action on the WP Resume Plugin page.
