Showcase of Twitter Integration on Blogs
Published April 30th, 2009 in GalleriesYou’ve probably noticed that Twitter links and updates are now very commonly found on blogs. There are a few different ways that Twitter can be used and integrated into a blog, and this post will showcase 30 blogs that are promoting a Twitter account. Some show the most recent Tweets and others are simply icons and links to the Twitter page. There is a good bit of variety from these featured sites, so hopefully you’ll find some that you like.
If you like getting design inspiration by looking at excellent blog designs, you’ll love our new gallery site Blog Design Heroes.

Great list! I’ve integrated Twitter rather heavily on my site. Check it out http://colorburned.com/2009/04/tweet-this.html
I know it wasn’t on purpose, but you squeezed a @mashedjobs banner in there! Right on!
Great way of personalizing a site. Can anyone please point me to a link on how this is done?
@Fabian I started from this great tutorial:

It’s so interesting to see how effective little details are: the choice of Twitter icon, the content of the Tweets and the way Twitter is integrated into the page. Thanks for compiling this inspiring list (and introducing us to some new blogs).
Great post, thanks.
@Fabian This should help get you started…
10 ways to integrate Twitter with your site

Thanks so much for everyone’s help,you guys rock!

It is disappointing to see how many have appropriated Iconfactory’s Twitterific icon. As far as I know, this is not in the public domain.

Great post and display of how creative people are getting with twitter. Now if everyone would just figure out how to use twitter correctly
I love these kinds of lists about Twitter. Thanks for putting it together. I have a little speech bubble on one of my blogs (actually my dog’s blog Sadie Shih Tzu social media puppy) for tweets: http://www.sadieshihtzu.com.
Jay Hafling’s integration is kick-ass and definitely my favourite.
Ha, that’s awesome. I’m really loving some of these designs, and this blog as well, it looks great.
I used to have my Twitter on my blog, using a plugin called Lifestream, but I haven’t activated it since I am using a new theme that doesn’t look good with it. I’m gonna be switching themes soon though, so I can integrate Twitter into it.
Thank you for showcasing my website!
I guess I should tweet more often
hmmm.. cute tweety…
thanks for share…
Nice idea for showcase
Nice post. What a brilliant creations they have. The page integration looks neat.
twitter is on world domination now.
everyone in my office is just
twittering around all the time.
Very nice collection, thanks. It’ll serve for some good inspiration
twittering sites? this is nice reference. although you can get all those nonsense updates sometimes from tweets you can still have bunch of followers if you do it the smooth way.
Great list! I opted for a duck and not a bird
This Tweets collection really useful to save the time on internet we can use this tweet to make more social friends and for business purpose also we can use it and twitter really helpful to get information about current affairs. Good Information. Thanks Michelle.
Those are awesome awesome creative ideas using twitter as part of the layout. NICE.
Noticed your site integrets twitter with the retweet, but I can’t seem to find YOUR twitter. I wanted to follow you, your site is great. Am I a dodobird and can’t find it or do you guys not have a twitter?
Hi Lauren,
Here is my Twitter URL – http://twitter.com/stevensnell
Aha, the bird that’s virtually everywhere these days. The wide range of designs is ample testimony to the phenomenon that Twitter has become. One name – a million faces, eh? I liked the Origami twist on Doejo. Nice.
Thanks for including me on this list, shame my wp plugin was showing the ‘uh oh my twitter feed is down message’ lol
a great list so nice to be in there with them!
This collection really helpful to save the time on internet great Informative resources.. much appreciated.
Thanks Anwar
I do not use twitter. But see that very popular among people… It is necessary to try.
Great list, I reacently created one twitter badge for a client of mine. This jquery twitter api plugin came very useful.
@nbookinfo You have to try it. I tried once and now i’m an twitter adict
These are beautiful.
I very love tweeter
Thank you!
Include mine as well….
You should take down Ondrej Vertat’s work as his site is an awful copy of Jeff Sarmiento’s – http://www.jeffsarmiento.com/
What a great idea for a blog post! I’d not heard of the majority of these so thank you for introducing them. I particularly like Jay Hafling’s Twitter integration. Is this a special plugin or just a good bit of design?
