Tweet Import is a WordPress plugin that imports Twitter tweets from multiple Twitter accounts and lists into WordPress. By importing tweets, Tweet Import actually creates WordPress regular posts using the content of the imported tweets. It allows importing Twitter feeds to different categories, and allows tagging imported tweets using user defined tags and/or the tweet content #hashtags. Tweet Import requires no authentication and can be used to import the user posted tweets and retweets from the specified Twitter accounts and lists.
