That's pretty cool. I can see some really good uses for it but it could also become overkill on some blogs. A couple months ago, I wrote the Retweet plugin so your readers can Retweet your post to their friends.

I'm glad to see more integration of posts and tweets because I find myself following more links in Twitter than any other form of discovery of new links, posts, news, etc.

Gives me the following error in the settings page

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: json_decode() in /home/private/public_html/wp-content/plugins/comment2tweet/comment2tweet.php on line 151
