Awesome. Great idea. Great implementation. Congratulations, Dan!

We had Dan guest-blog for us today and we're also fans of his new creation. While we're in the midst of a site redesign, we're considering adding tweetbacks to show up just like a normal comment. I think it'd be much cooler if it were integrated directly into the comment stream though. Great work Dan!

just tried to download the tweetbacks plugin and Dan's site seems to be down. is this a result of the Mashable effect? has Dan's site been Mashed?
BTW, thanks for mentioning this and to Dan for whipping it up. can't wait to get my grubby hands on the plugin.

Funny I just integrated # of tweets and # of friendfeeds into my algorithm which re-rates search results inline on search results pages.
I also updated my toolbar to show people the number of tweets right next to search results, so you can decide what result to go to based on how much it is tweeted/friendfeeded.
I think there is some real data mining work starting to go on here...
Sorry I meant first WP plugin - of course I forgot they were all using Dan's code! DOH!
Foot out of mouth...
Still would like to know why it repeats though, very weird.

I'm sure if John Chow and Showmoney write about it, everyone will be using it right away, so it will naturally catch on. That's usually how things work (e.g. Entrecard & BlogRush)
Doesn't matter how good it is. Everyone will use it for a while until people realize how worthless it is, then will slowly dwindle away.

While Dan's Tweetbacks is certainly nice, he is far from the first. We've had a Wordpress plugin in beta testing for about 5 months now.
It puts the comments inline, with all of the other normal comments.

It seems like twitter is growing and adding more features to their program. Will it take the simplicity out of twitter? I do hope they will keep themselves small and nimble.
Thanks for the update , this is going to be helpful

Twitter is now overwhelming the internet and blogger remember it rather than Google or yahoo. Is that of its simplicity?

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 be the new OpenID.

Jeremy I see the point, yes. However, micromedia seems to be an interesting trend and sites like this (http://codigomorse.net/ , a short form news site) can do well with short form comments. Besides, like with SMS, someone might come up with an ingenious way of upping the 140 chr limit.

For an example, see our blog post here, which has tweets about it: http://twitturly.com/blog/2008/06/twitturly-is-...
It puts the comments inline, with all of the other normal comments.
