Twitter Groups for Your Website

Thanks for taking the time to check out Twitster, a new open source application that makes it like crazy-easy to build a Twitter-based community on your web site.

Twitster was the brain child of Byrne and I after we deployed a similar application to help power and bring together a Twitter community around Movable Type. The project was called “HashMT,” which got its name from its ability to aggregate and publish tweets augmented with the twitter tag “#mt”.

When we saw what we created, we thought to ourselves, “huh, I think others might want to use this for their web sites and projects.” And so, Twitster was born.

We hope you like it and look forward to seeing how people use it!
