On the last part I described some of the useful ways to use twitter on your mobile phones; on this part I’m going to share some of the ways to spread your tweets all over the internet. Your 140 character twitter updates are not limited inside your profile or in your friend’s timeline. Twitter gives you the scope to bring them out.
Add twitter on your blog
You can add your twitter updates on your blog. This way your readers will know what are you doing right now. It’s harder to update your blog regularly but it’s easy to update your twitter status. This way your readers will know that you’re still connected with you.
Go to twitter widgets from twitter.com/widgets and select your platform. Select “Blogger.” Select number of updates, badge title and click on the blogger button to install it on your blogger blog automatically. You can also click on “Grab the code” to get the HTML code. Now you have to paste this code into your blog’s sidebar.
Blogger blog: Go to Dashboard > Layout > Add a gadget. Select “HTML java code” and paste the code “Save”
Wordpress blog: Go to Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets and select “Text” now paste the code and press “Done“, “Save”
And there you have your twitter widget!
Add twitter on MySpace
Twitter has two flash myspace badges. One with the twitter box and the other one with a simple status message. Go to twitter.com/widgets > MySpace, select your badge and choose colors, get the code.
Now login to MySpace and click “Edit profile” now paste the code anywhere under about, my stuff etc. -you need to have the latest version of flash player to see the widget.
Add twitter on Facebook
Twitter has a great application for Facebook. Login to your facebook account and go to Twitter app. Now add the application and submit your twitter id and password. On the application menu, you can see the recent tweets of your friends and you can also update your status. You can also add the twitter box on your profile or in your page.
Update your facebook status with twitter
You can automatically update your facebook status with your twitter update. Go to the twitter application from facebook. On the top right tab, select settings (next to your name) and then “Twitter Settings.”
Now from the box, select “Additional Permissions” and then check “Update my status without notifying me.” Click “Okay“
Now whenever you’ll update your twitter status, your facebook status will be updated too! Facebook won’t update the tweets that start with a @reply.
There are even more services which allow you to use your twitter message as the status. The more you spread your tweets, the more you can keep updated with people around you.
Stay updated for the next part of this series and Grab the RSS feed to get it first.

I have been trying to stay away from using this type of thing, as it clutters up your sidebar.
Good read though.
Geoserv’s latest blog post..Pliggs Roundup
@Geoserv: I don’t think you should add it on your sidebar if your twitter updates are full of links, @replies and personal chats.
But if you use it as a micro blog with your blog’s latest informations, then you should add it on the blog.
i gust want to say some thing “great job”
Update your Twitter randomly according to your intrest Or, from Rss Feed Or, from your own tweet message list Or, Any combination of the above three http://feedmytwitter.com
