Have You Heard About The Twitter Remote Widget?
I went to Twitter Counter earlier today to grab the code to add their widget on this blog, and found a new addition called Twitter Remote.
This new service reminds me of the My Blog Log and Blog Catalog widgets that capture and display recent visitors.
Essentially this widget works the same way. Grab the HTML code from the Twitter Remote website and add to your blog, then as visitors come from Twitter they are captured and displayed on your blog.
I really like the idea, but they need to do some serious tweaking to the look and feel of the widget. There are only a few customization options including text color, number of rows, and width. That’s it. If they spruce it up, i will add it to my blogs. Until then, it’s a no go for me.
What do you think? Will you be using Twitter Remote.
P.S. Not on Twitter, yet? Grab a copy of my Awesome Twitter Guide…a beginners guide to Twitter. The guide covers everything you need to get started today – including how to use Twitter, how to find followers, and what to tweet about.

Of all the social networks that exist, my fave by far is Twitter. Why? Well because i don’t have to spend my precious time adding dozens of glitter buttons (not that there is anything wrong with that) or filling out numerous quizzes or downloading a million gazillion photos. I just update and go. Love it.
