Tweet, tweet! What was that? You have a Twitter too? (Who doesn’t tweet these days?) So yeah, if you’re here, you probably have a WordPress install as well! Guess what, 
you’ve just found the collision! Sure, qTwit isn’t the only Twitter widget it out there, but it’s claim-to-fame is that it loads your Tweets on the client-side, meaning 
that it uses the <a href="http://tweet.seaofclouds.com" rel="nofollow ugc">jQuery plugin by Seaofclouds</a> to load your tweets. What does this mean for you? Well, several things:
<ul>
<li>Your tweets are always up-to-date, even with that super-cool caching plugin you just installed!</li>
<li>Your server isn’t coughing up blood from exhaustion loading the tweets by itself all the time!</li>
<li>You can say your blog is powered by jQuery, because everybody knows how legit that is.</li>
</ul>
AND, we can’t forget that Seaofclouds threw in some goodies that pass on to you:
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>Small size and fast download time.</li>
<li>Will not slow down or pause your page while Tweets are loading.</li>
<li>Automatic linking of @replies to users’ Twitter page.</li>
<li>Automatic linking of URLs.</li>
<li>Automatic linking of #hashtags, to a Twitter search of all your tags.</li>
<li>Converts <3 to a CSS styleable ♥.</li>
<li>Makes awesome text, AWESOME text with AWESOMEIZER.</li>
</ul>

So there you have it, go ahead and click “Install” now!

qTwit (for WordPress)

qTwit is a Wordpress widget that loads Tweets (from Twitter) on the client-side, via jQuery, as opposed to on the server.

So do you want the world to know what you just listened to? Do you want to show it off in your… WordPress sidebar? I know I do! What Last.wp does is 
show a few of the songs you just scrobbled over to Last.fm. It stands out beyond the other choices because it does it’s dirty work in Javascript (which can speed up 
your server, because it doesn’t have to make request over to Last.fm every page load, rather your Guests computer does it). It displays album artwork, the song name, 
the artist name, and the album name! Your guests will be AMAZED when they find your recent obsession with Conway Twitty! They’ll gasp in awe when they see how much you 
played the beetles within the past five minutes, and their jaws will drop when they see you’ve been spinning N-Sync albums! Wait no longer, your guests can be amazed today!
On the technical side, Last.wp is powered by a small plugin provided by the kind people over at Engage Interactive. (Thanks for providing it under the GPL guys!). Unfortunatly, 
it requires each person to have their own API key as of now, due to Last.fm’s confusing API system. It’s easy to get one, you just login and go to the API screen, create a new 
application, and Voila, your very own API key! (Consult the Instructions for details)
