<?php echo do_shortcode("[your_shortcode]"); ?>

That's it. Super simple, and really useful at times!

function twtreplace($content) {
	$twtreplace = preg_replace('/([^a-zA-Z0-9-_&])@([0-9a-zA-Z_]+)/',"$1<a href=\"http://twitter.com/$2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">@$2</a>",$content);
	return $twtreplace;
}

add_filter('the_content', 'twtreplace');   
add_filter('comment_text', 'twtreplace');

Once you saved the file all twitter usernames in posts and comments will automatically be linked to their Twitter profiles. Usernames have to be written under the form @username.

Thanks to CSS Tricks for the code snippet!

The Internet is one huge swap meet. So many sites "borrow" code or plugins from other sites to make their own that much better. And then someone else borrows from their site, and so on. Keeping up with the latest and greatest Web features is an exhausting experience, though. You can check out tons of forums, blogs, newsletters and more just to read up on the latest releases. You can also pay a ton of money to various online services to pull in stats and suggestions.

The best way, though? Just browse. Check out what your competition's doing. If you find something you like, copy it. If only it were that easy to look beneath the hood. Well, it is. Thanks to SpyBar, you can pull in tons of useful data about any site, and you can do it all right from your Firefox or Chrome browser!

SpyBar is sold for only $7 for a limited time by Mighty Deals.

Here is a video demo of Spybar in action:
