For all you sync happy Wordpress/Twitter junkies, Tweetsuite has the integration cure for what ails ya’.

Tweetsuite, the new Worpress plugin by Dan Zarella lets you fully integrate Twitter into your Wordpress blog in pretty seamlessly.

Think of Tweetsuite as a supersized version of Zarella’s Tweetbacks plugin. Not only will the plugin display all tweets that reference a particular post, but it feeds posts directly to your Twitter account and automatically adds buttons for Tweeting, Re-Tweeting, and adding to your favorite tweets.  There are also side bar widgets that display your latest, favorite, and most popular Twitter feeds. Twitter Overload? Pretty close.

So far I’ve installed the plugin on all my sites and it’s working fine. While it would be easy to OD on this feature heavy plugin I’m using it primarly for the Twitter auto post and Tweet this features.

I like that the Tweet This button is right at the beginning of each post. I’m a fan of getting it out there in the beginning, but if you’re more on the suble side, you can change the location of the button in the settings menu. When I first installed the plugin there seemed to be a glitch in the system that redirected readers back to the post page instead of their Twitter accounts, but in the last couple of days this appears to have been fixed.

I also like that the integrated auto posts means I don’t have to use an outside RSS feed service anymore. I’ve been using Twitterfeed and while I like it-it’s quick and easy to set up-this just means I have one less account to maintain and remember passwords for. For my non WP sites though, I’m still with TF.

One thing I’m not so juiced about is the look of the sidebar widget. While I like the all in one package deal, the interface is a bit too plain. It’s good if you want the understated, mainly text based widget, but for the moment at least I’m sticking with my slightly modified Twitter Flash and Twit Stamp widgets.

Overall, I’m happy with the plug-in.  Zarella has done a great job and since it’s only about a month old, I’m sure some cool upgrades are in the works. Hopefully a more attractive sidebar feed is right up there.
