Inline Tweet Sharer – Twitter Sharing Plugin

Description

Inline Tweet Sharer is a plugin that allows you to easily and simply create links to share your content on twitter. These links share whatever the anchor text is (as well as a prefix or suffix if context is needed), so it is designed to share tweetable content (like stats, quotes, titbits or competition entries) easily and quickly on twitter, hopefully encouraging people to click on said links, increasing traffic to your blog.

Links can either be highlighted as Twitter links or look the same as regular links, and there is a Rich Text Editor button you can use to click and easily add the links.

You can see an example on the Inline Tweet Sharer Plugin page.

For more information, please visit the Inline Tweet Sharer Documentation page.

I love this plugin. It's easy to use and adds a wonderfully professional touch of interaction to posts. Note that the new version of Wordpress requires shortcodes to be added like this: [inlinetweet]My text[/inlinetweet] instead of like this: [inlinetweet]]My text[[/inlinetweet].
