Twitter @Anywhere WordPress Plugin

We have just launched our first WordPress Plugin which encompasses the Twitter @Anywhere functionality that was recently announced by Twitter.

The plugin brings twitter to your site and allows you to view user profiles of twitter user names on your site, as well as allowing you to tweet directly from your site.

To use the plugin you need to have a Twitter API which you can easily sign up for at http://dev.twitter.com/anywhere/apps/new.

Plugin Features

The plugins also supports the following @Anywhere features:

• Either “Linkify” or “Hovercard” Twitter usernames in your blog.
• Override the selector used to linkify
• Override the CSS class name used for auto-linkification.
• Ability to add a follow button with a shortcode.
• Ability to add a tweet box with a shortcode. You can specify %title% and %url% as default content to automatically pre-populate the tweet box with your post information. If %url% is used, then Bit.ly is used to shorten the post’s url.

Shortcodes

The plugin allows you use shortcodes within your posts to enable the @Anywhere functionality
