I am sure most of you bloggers are familiar with the term pingback, and are most likely familiar with the service called Twitter. What do they have in common? Well if it was a few days ago I would say nothing, but then their was Dan Zarrella. Dan had the brilliant idea of creating Tweet Backs.

Tweet Backs lists tweets that were made about your post. You can see an example of it working right here on this post, assuming someone tweets it. The script works great, and I love the idea. It does have one problem though. It runs on his server. I guess he didn’t expect it to be so great, and the popularity is starting to heat that server up. It could be because it only takes one line of code, and is a snap to install.

Already, TweetBackRedux

So already there has been a fix to the slow server issue. Jeremy Hilton has created a version all nicely zipped up for you so you can install and run the script on your own server. It is what I have chose to do. Simply unzip or tar the file and follow the three step installation process.
