WordPress Plugin to Add Twitter’s @Anywhere Functionality

@Anywhere Plus WordPress PluginI just added a new WordPress Plugin that adds the @Anywhere functionality to the blog. So now every time I reference someone’s Twitter ID in a post or page, a couple things happen.

First, the username is automatically converted into an active link directly to the persons Twitter profile. A definite time saver there…

Secondly, if you mouse over the link without clicking, a hover box appears with the user’s basic details. Clicking the “more” link expands the box showing the user’s full bio, latest tweet, follower stats and even a +follow button, as seen in the image to the right.

Go ahead, check it out for yourself on my Twitter ID: @JBern

Cool huh?

    THAT is nifty. :) The only strange thing is that in the window that appears when I mouse over your name, I see a button with the option to follow … except I’m already following you. I wonder how many people will click those and unintentionally unfollow people (thinking that they had made a mistake and weren’t following, you know?) Regardless, you are this week’s plug-in master, Jeff. Thanks!

    Hey Melissa,

    Thanks for stopping by and leaving a real comment! ;)

    If you click that “follow” button, it should ask you to login, and then it would display that you are already following me. At least that’s the way it SHOULD work. If not, let me know…

    Thanks,
    Jeff
