Twitter Comments system. Give to you readers the possibility to send comments via Twitter! Automatically retrieve Twitter Replies and/or Twitter Retweets to your Blog's Posts. These Twitter mentions are handled like Posts Comments, using WP built-in comment system.
Here is how Twitter Comments work:
- You Post an article on your blog
- You update your Twitter status (or let the plugin do it for you)
- You automatically get all related Twitter Replies and/or Twitter Retweets as comments to your Post
The plugin also brings two widgets:
- Analytics charts showing how many Twitter Replies and Twitter Retweets you are receiving
- Listings of your 20 most recent Twitter Conversations

How does it work?
The plugin uses the Twitoaster API to search for posts URLs in your Twitter updates (url shorteners are supported). Each Twitter update found sees its replies and/or retweets added as comments to the matching post. The widgets (Twitter charts and Twitter conversations) also use the Twitoaster API.
