WordPress Plugins Put Twitter On Auto Pilot
WordPress Twitter Plugins automate your Twitter account, free up valuable time & of course auto tweeting your content to Twitter is also the perfect way to publicise your blog articles & posts.
Although there are numerous plugins available for Twitter users, the two best plugins I have found for this job are both from TweetMeme.
TweetMeme
The TweetMeme Retweet button is probably the most well know icon in retweeting – used by some of the biggest websites in the world including Techcrunch.com, PerezHilton.com, Break.com, CNET.com, Wired, Time Magazine and hundreds of other massive brands, in total it is installed on over 100,000 websites around the globe.
“The Tweetmeme button is a fantastic way for our readers to engage with our stories and signals which posts are a hit with the Twitter community. The button has been a valuable addition to our site and consistently drives reader engagement.” Pete Cashmore, Mashable.com
Easily allows your blog post or page to be tweeted & retweeted. It provides a live count of how many times your post/page has been retweeted throughout Twitter.
Set is simplicity itself, just checkout the setup screen below.

Twitter Follow Button
The TweetMeme Twitter Follow Button is a new way to gain extra Twitter Followers, it allows your blog visitors to instantly know if they are already following your Twitter account or not, if not then it allows the visitor to follow you without leaving your site.
The button has been designed for simplicity and comes in three styles compact, standard and square.
The Follow Button has a live counter so that you can see visually if the user is worth following just based upon the count and matches the style and ability of the TweetMeme ReTweet button. The button also knows who you are already following and shows the + sign to remind you to add the new users that you discover through the Follow Button. We also add in a WordPress sidebar widget and the ability to add the follow button to posts on a per-author basis.
