Twitter is one of the best communities to be involved in to have discussions, share knowledge and learn new things. It’s also great for building new relationships and finding new contacts. If you own a blog, you simply can’t afford not to use Twitter to build a more solid community and get more people to visit your site. Thankfully, there are many ways you can go about bringing the Twitter community to your blog. Tweetboard is one of those solutions. Tweetboard lets your users get more engaged with your blog and start and participate in discussions around your blog posts. It’s essentially a forum based on Twitter.

Tweetboard is very easy to install. All you have to do is grab the Javascript code from the developers and put it on your blog before the end of your BODY tag. Your board will be hidden at first but your visitors get to see how many new tweets have been posted since their last visit. That’s a great way to let your visitors know whether there have been replies to their tweets.

The board itself is very cool. You get nested conversations, latest activity, and new tweets all in one place. Your visitors can easily use their Twitter account to get more involved in your community. Best of all, you get a lot of traffic back to your website as a result of all these discussions. Everytime someone decides to post a tweet on your blog post, Tweetboard automatically uses posted.at and inreply.to domains to post a link back to that conversation and your blog post. If you get a whole lot of people to participate in your blog discussions, you are going to get a lot of traffic back.
All in all, tweetboard is a wonderful tool for bloggers who want to get more out of Twitter. Whether you are looking to get more traffic to your blog or get your users more engaged, tweetboard is a good tool to test out. It’s not the only Twitter tool on the market, but it’s still a good one to test to see how it can help you take your blog to the next level. The potential is certainly there for this tool to be a killer addition for your blog.
