Nine Lives Media recently asked us, “Can you build a Twitter aggregator on top of WordPress?” We answered, “Sure!”ContentRobot then built them two blog-powered tweetsites that we wanted to share with everyone.
MSPtweet
This site tracks top executives, entrepreneurs, experts, coaches and businesses from across the global managed services industry. For the loudest tweets in Managed Services, check out http://www.msptweet.com/
VARtweet
This site tracks top channel chiefs and their partner programs. For the loudest tweets in the IT channel, check out: http://www.vartweet.com/
The Tools
We used the following tools to create these sites:
- Twitter API
- Wickett Twitter Widget (built by Automattic)
- Overtar (pulls in Gravatars)
- Custom-built WordPress themes
Why it’s Cool
- It showcases key industry leaders’ Twitter streams all in one place
- It doesn’t require the visitor to sign up for Twitter
- It’s built with WordPress
