It often happens that I do my reading of blog posts late at
night or very early in the morning. Sharing the best pieces I find then via
Twitter then isn't very useful though I found. It often puts my efforts to waste
and no one sees them.
Twiends is a remarkably
innovative mechanism to get you more Twitter followers, Facebook page fans and
Youtube viewers. Twiends is a
seed-based; When you follow others you earn seeds from them, which you can
offer as an incentive for others to follow you and promote your profile. You can also set number of seeds you are offering per follow and whom you want to follow.
Twiends claims 500,000 members and I believe it could be more than that as I'm a big fan of the service. Now, let's see how you will grow your social network..
Klout uses many variables to provide overall influence score, true reach, amplification probability, and network score.
Inspired by Twitter Hovercards, this bookmarklet was made to help me quickly view the data of Twitter accounts
plus their Topsy influence score before I decide to follow them.
This is a simple jQuery tutorial to display Twitter trending stories of your website and their Twitter trackbacks by combining 2 of my jQuery plugins - Popular on Twitter Widget & Twitter Trackbacks Widget.
bit.ly -The intelligent URL shortener- offers realtime statistics about the clicks on shortened links and this button takes advantage of that information. This jQuery button gives you a uniform click count button -tall or wide- that people can also use it to retweet your post.
When you use a short link to tweet your post, it may get 100 retweets but in terms of bit.ly stats that could mean 1000 clicks coming from the whole twitter ecosystem which makes another interesting measure of how popular is your post!
This plugin displays avatars of people who have recently followed your twitter account and tweeted your link. It would be useful when you have a new project launch and you need to encourage people to follow & tweet it by showing their Twitter avatars!
The plugin is a mix of two of my favorite plugins: Twitter Friends & Followers Widget and Twitter Trackbacks Widget. It first queries Topsy API to get tweeters and compares them with followers returned from Twitter API.
This is a jQuery widget for the brand new social network -Google Buzz- that
you can embed anywhere to integrate your buzz stream into your page.
Google Buzz is a new social
network based on Google profiles and built right into Gmail. It was launched
last Tuesday, and in 2 days over 9 million buzzes and comments were created!
As of my ongoing preparation for the 1K tweet :) I was interested to see the 1000th tweet from some friends timeline. And when I didn't find an existing method, I thought I could write few jQuery lines to solve this..
Another Topsy-enabled jQuery plugin to list the most popular posts on your website,
from your Twitter timeline or for some keyword within a selected period of time.
Links are displayed with number of tweets and score -which is calculated by the
influence of the people talking about them and affects on sorting those
links.

I took the Topsy retweet button and jQuery-fied it, then added the "Who" part to it using the awesome Topsy API. to
create this fancy share count button for your stories on twitter. that's it!

Topsy has just released a Wordpress plugin that gives you another retweet button. But, what if you can only work with a JavaScript widget? here is a small hack..
There is a Facebook fans widget, Google friends widget, what about a Twitter friends widget?!

With all the buzz lately about Twitter real-time search. Why don't you add a real-time tweets bar related to your posts from your twitter timeline or from anybody or even limit it by a geocode coordinates!
Check out These Demos..
Each one links to the demo page where you can see HTML & CSS & JS you need to use... CSS code is important but it is almost the same across those different samples, so I'm not going to focus on it here.
