Tweet!

Put twitter on your website with Tweet!, an unobtrusive javascript plugin for jquery.

History, demos & examples

Tweet javascript was originally maintained by seaofclouds but I needed some customizions for my Drupal module. So I created my own repository and included this into this module.

For demos and examples see tweet.seaofclouds.com (original version), or the bundled index.html file.

Usage

So simple: Just enable the block, put it in a region you wish and configure it at the block's configuration page.

Theming

Also simple: Copy the included tweet.css to your theme directory an style it like you want!

Performance

The module uses Drupal's global cache, it has a very small size and a fast download time.

Hope it will also be useful for you!
