Twitter Visual Stats – Wordpress Plugin “Widget”

This plugin shows a visual representation of a users growth in Twitter followers over a specified time period. Using a Flash-based graphing utility, your Twitter stats are downloaded directly from the API at TwitterCounter.com and then parsed on the fly to show a visual as well as textual representation of your follower statistics.

Some basic controls for customizing the look and feel are included. You can turn off the graph and/or the text to only display one or the other. Change the background color of the graph as well as the series color to seemlessly blend the Flash component into your site design. You can choose between a column graph and a line graph, and pick the timeframe for the amount of data you wish to show (1 week, 1 month, 3 months).
