Dan, great additions to your Tweetbacks, especially the Most Tweeted. I am still not showing the bit.ly tweets and I am having a few issues with the Most Tweeted, it's not showing up in my sidebar yet. Probably some error on my part. I can't wait to get it all up and running.
Great tool, thanks!

Peeps.
I've written a downloadable version of Dan's brilliant idea, called TweetBackRedux that works on PHP enabled servers.
* It caches URL shortener api calls for efficiency * There is only support for TinyURL, Bit.ly, and is.gd. * The Twitter search API is not case sensitive. URL shorteners are. This version removes invalid tweetbacks that makes their way into results due to this difference.
Installation instructions are contained with the source as well as my Twitter handle. Hit me up with any questions, I'll do my best to answer, but can't guarantee that I will.

Suggestion - make the avatars and name linkable to their Twitter account? Is that possible (I would assume so?)
I tended to click on them thinking 'ooh I want to see more' and was disappointed.

How soon until you write an *official* WP Plugin ? :)

Very soon it seems! Thanks!
It has the same problem as Brian's though - namely look at:
http://www.mutantpop.net/radioclash/ (someone has tweeted my homepage URL, perfectly normal behaviour - but look! Multiple tweetbacks on every post...)
Great way to spam people's pages no? LOL. Can we switch it 'off' on the homepage then?

Hi, I've installed it on my blog: http://taliacarbis.com, not sure if it looks how it's meant to?!?!?! But I'm sure this'll be cool anyway. :-)
Also really want that 'tweet this' button you have at the bottom of posts...
Thanks for the plug-in!

Would it be possible to get the date for tweets wrapped in span tags? That way I can style them differently from the tweet bodies (for example, make them even smaller, or italicize them, etc).
Anyway, I'm now working on a Drupal module for this.
Now all I have to do is wait for lots of Tweets on my blogposts! Cheers. Nice idea.

Dan, great work, this is pretty awesome. One thing though, it does seem to slow down my page load time pretty substantially. Have you heard this at all?

To save you bandwidth, (and user's pageload times) can we make a local copy of the tb.js file?

Working perfectly on my blogger-based blog. Got me thinking, if Tweetbacks can find and thread related tweets and if it can add a form, it can replace other comment systems quite nicely. Since comments are Facebook Connect and Google Friend Connect's killer app, it could have very interesting implications for the online identity race. Twitter could become the new OpenID.

I'm not sure what I did wrong but I can't see the widgets even thought I downloaded and activated it?

Well, I've been working on adding this to my blog at http://www.the-deblog.com -- which is on TypePad. I have a few questions:
1. Does the date have its own style, so that we could change its color with CSS? Likewise, does the avatar have a style so we can change its right margin?
2. I put the stats on my left sidebar. But while my two test tweetbacks show up, two also show up for a post that doesn't have any tweetbacks. So, I'm not sure what's happening there.

Oh, and one other question: after the date and time it has +0000. Is there some way to get rid of that?
Thanks!

Debra: Checking the HTML generated on coldacid.net, it appears that the date isn't wrapped in a or anything, so styling may be out of the question. This is with default styling on. Using nostyle=true might wrap the date/time in a but I might be wrong about that.

Thanks, Chris. I see that Dan's got the date in green above, but he's probably using his widget rather than the simple script I'm using.

Thanks! I just installed tweetBacks on my blog and I love it. I was looking for a way to easily integrate my blog with twitter and you gave it to me :)

It would be nice to be able to give it the name of a div where it could put the result, so that we can load it at the end of the page source.

Thanks for nice piece of scriptwork :D Works fine for me. I just would love, instead of "no tweetbacks yet", a possibility to Tweet the URL, just with a text link, no button, because it doesn't fit my design ;) ("Be the first to Tweet this blogpost! http://sometinyurl.com" pointing to twitter.com/status=just read this blogpost:))

Hm, I forgot: some people use TwitThis(.com) to Tweet a URL, can you implement those URL's as well?
