Integrate Twitter Into Websites: @anywhere

Tuesday, July 13, 2010

@anywhere is a set new JavaScript-based methods by Twitter which helps integrating websites with the service easier and better.

It simply works by registering to the @anywhere platform and inserting few lines of JavaScript.

Twitter @anywhere

The integration methods are:

  • Auto-linkification of @usernames
  • Hovercards
  • Follow buttons
  • Tweet Box (enabling users to tweet from your website)
  • User login & signup

It is possible to let the script search for the Twitter usernames in a whole web page or, better, define specific elements/IDs/classes to make it work faster.
