The Concept
Tweet-stimonials is a WordPress plugin uses Twitter favorites as a tool for flagging testimonials.
Twitter has a built-in function for flagging your favorite tweets; something that doesn’t seem to be used by too many people. The idea here is that you use that same function to “favorite” all of those good things that your customers are already saying about you.
When used in conjunction with Tweet-stimonials, marking these tweets as favorites automatically publishes them to your site, making for one of, if not the, easiest and fastest ways to add live testimonials to any WordPress website.
Requirements
- WordPress 2.8 and higher
- PHP5
