Topsy Wordpess Plugin Converts Tweets into Comments, Adds Retweet button

Topsy team today announced the first major release of Topsy WordPress Plugin 1.0 for WordPress:

“…that the Topsy WordPress Plugin has reached its first major release milestone of version 1.0. With this version, the plugin gains two exciting new features — TopLinks and Retweet support. When you use the plugin on a blog that features stories that are ranked in the Top5k, Top1k, or Top100, your blog will display a TopLinks badge next to the story, identifying it as one of the most influential stories of the day. The Topsy Plugin also now supports retweeting, allowing your readers to effortlessly RT your stories right from your blog.”Topsy

Other than that Topsy WordPress 1.0 also fixes some of the major bugs and incorporates some of the following changes:

  • Added “Delete Trackback Comments” button.
  • Fixed duplicate trackbacks bug.  If you used this plugin earlier and have duplicate trackbacks/comments, you can delete them all at once.  Hopefully you will not get the duplicate trackbacks after Topsy syncs them again.
  • Removed “Original tweet/Topsy page” links.
  • Changed default settings so user must explicitly activate trackback comments.

With Release 1.0 Topsy becomes one of the must have plugin for all WordPress users and in some way reduces the need to have a separate Tweetmeme plugin to allow retweeting of the blog post.
