Twitter Mentions as Comments does exactly what it promises to do – scours Twitter for people talking about your blog posts and silently inserts their Tweets alongside your existing comments. The plugin leverages the power of WordPress’s built-in commenting system – notification, comment moderation, author white/black listing – making Twitter an extension of your blog.
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Searches for Tweets linking to your blog posts, regardless of the URL shortener used (using Twitter’s Search API)</li>
<li>Pushes Tweets into WordPress’s existing comment workflow – notifications, comment moderation, and author whitelists/blacklists work just like any other comment</li>
<li>Fetches user’s real name and profile picture and links directly to the original Tweet</li>
<li>Checks automatically – no need to do a thing</li>
<li>Option to automatically exclude ReTweets</li>
<li>Option to store tweets as trackbacks/pingbacks</li>
<li>Option to specify which posts to check (e.g., 10 most recent posts, all posts, front page only)</li>
<li>Smart Caching of Tweets and user data – retrieves only what it needs to save on API calls and server load</li>
</ul>
<h4>Planned Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Dynamic resizing of Twitter profile images to fit WordPress theme</li>
<li>Prioritization of newer posts</li>
<li>Oauth Authentication to raise API limit (currently unlimited Tweets, but limited to 150 new comment authors per hour)</li>
<li>Smarter API throttling</li>
</ul>
