Showcase of Twitter Integration on Blogs

Published April 30th, 2009 in Galleries

You’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

Chris Wallace April 30th, 2009

I know it wasn’t on purpose, but you squeezed a @mashedjobs banner in there! Right on!

Fabian April 30th, 2009

Great way of personalizing a site. Can anyone please point me to a link on how this is done?

Fabio April 30th, 2009

@Fabian I started from this great tutorial:
http://css-tricks.com/video-screencasts/19-designing-a-unique-page-for-twitter-updates/

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).

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 ;)

Liz Hover April 30th, 2009

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.

Bronson April 30th, 2009

Jay Hafling’s integration is kick-ass and definitely my favourite.

Design Inspiration May 1st, 2009

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. :)

RG May 2nd, 2009

Thank you for showcasing my website!

Tukang Nggame May 3rd, 2009

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.

Gabe Diaz May 9th, 2009

Great list! I opted for a duck and not a bird :)

Those are awesome awesome creative ideas using twitter as part of the layout. NICE.

Lauren May 15th, 2009

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?

Vandelay Design May 15th, 2009

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! :)

Anwar May 28th, 2009

You should take down Ondrej Vertat’s work as his site is an awful copy of Jeff Sarmiento’s – http://www.jeffsarmiento.com/

Twitter for Small Business October 29th, 2009

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?
