links for 2009-11-25

"It’s true that you could just point an RSS widget at one of the Twitter feeds, but you end up with the whole tweet as a link, @replies don’t function, etc. Twitter Widget Pro properly handles twitter feeds, including linking @username to the user on twitter, linking #hastags to twitter search, parsing urls and making them links, allowing you to display your twitter profile image, and even allowing you to specify a custom error message to display when Twitter is down. You can also optionally choose to ignore @replies, leaving them out of your widget."

Been looking at various WordPress plug-ins. Twitter is always on my list to see how it is being used in blogs. These are some good examples. I'm thinking about incorporating a few more of them.

The idea of laying information over visual search is becoming more interesting. A space to watch.
