Today, in a blog post Twitter announced a ‘follow button’ addition to their widgets, which allows you to follow user accounts directly from their external web pages. With a single click you can follow an account without the hassle of actually visiting their pages. That was the usual “Follow Us On Twitter” button function, which did not guarantee the visitor would actually follow the account. This function I think would be very useful. If you look to the right of the site, you can see how the button looks like if you aren’t already following us. You can give it a try to see how it works! You can get yours for your site by going to twitter.com/followbutton

What do you think about the follow button? Drop a comment and tell us.
