Follow Button

The Follow button is for website and blog publishers that want to encourage their audience to follow them on twitter. This button provides the interface to see the follower count of a particular user and a button which upon pressing opens the follow pop-up providing a number of different views and statistics about the user from additional services such as Twitter Grader, Twitalyzer and Twitter Counter.

We have made our button really smart, with one simple piece of JavaScript we can give you the ability for your readers to follow you. Best of all it will work on any web page, anywhere!

If you are using Wordpress please use our WordPress Plugin.
