I searched the internet for jQuery plugin which can get me twitter feeds in an onobstructive and simplistic manner.I found jTwitter and TWEET and few others. I compared these two plugins and concluded that TWEET is the best. The ease of integration and the supplementary which one gets is awesome.
How to use it?
1) Include jquery.min.js file in the head section of your html page.
2) Include jquery.tweet.js file in the head section of your html page.
3) In this jquery.tweet.js file change username to username whose tweets you want. ex devangpaliwal
4) In head section of the html document add following code in script tag.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 | $(document).ready(function(){ $(".tweet").tweet({ username: "devangpaliwal", join_text: "auto", avatar_size: 16, count: 100, auto_join_text_default: "I said", auto_join_text_ed: "I", auto_join_text_ing: "I am", auto_join_text_reply: "I replied to", auto_join_text_url: "I was checking out", loading_text: "loading tweeter feeds..." }); }); |
5) In body tag add the following HTML. This is where twitter feeds will appear.
<div class="tweet"></div>
List of features which TWEET offers-
- small size and fast download time
- will not slow down or pause your page while tweets are loading
- display up to 100 tweets, as permitted by the twitter search api
- display tweets from a twitter search, or from your own feed
- optional verb tense matching, for human readable tweets
- optionally display your avatar
- optionally display tweets from multiple accounts!
- automatic linking of @replies to users’ twitter page
- automatic linking of URLs
- automatic linking of #hashtags, to a twitter search of all your tags
- converts <3 to a css styleable ? (we ? hearts)
- makes awesome text, AWESOME text with AWESOMEIZER
- customize the style with your own stylesheet or with other jquery plugins
- compatible with most jquery versions, including jquery 1.2.6 and the latest, 1.3.x
Bold features are the ones which distinguishes it from other twitter plugins.
A must use for sites providing social media!!
