New Official Twitter Follow button with Followers Counter


Web developers were using various methods to add the twitter follow button with the Number of followers information. Twitter made it more easy to add follow button on your blogs or website. Twitter uses two methods for adding the follow button into your site.
  • Using Javascript
  • Using an iframe
We can easily embed the follow button to our blogger by adding the code in the HTML/Javascript under the Add a Gadget in blogger Dashboard.

When a visitor clicks on the follow button. A pop up window opens, which shows the recent two tweets of user and brief info about the user. On top right we can see the follow button. This is really an important and useful Resource of Twitter.
You can get the basic Follow button by providing your Twitter username and some customizing option from https://twitter.com/about/resources/followbutton
Advanced users can customize the button using the supported attributes from http://dev.twitter.com/pages/follow_button
