Actually, I’ve converted several people to Twitter because of my sidebar. No lie.

@tropicat, We never really know what version we are on since WordPress makes changes here continuously and they also make many changes to the standard MU package for use here at .com, so version numbers really don’t apply.

If you find a social net you like, and want a widget:
why not contact THEM in the mean time?

The Blocatalog social community has a HTML widget that actually works pretty well and is very simple.

HTML widgets are usually crappier than javascript, but i dont understand why Twitter and some others cant create a widget for wP.com.
Maybe people should ask them.

FYI: Twitter experienced explosive growth over the last 12 months. Via Mashable:

“The latest numbers are in, and Twitter is apparently growing at a torrid pace. According to stats just released from Nielsen Online, Twitter recorded 2.3 million unique visitors in August (US-only), an increase of 422% from the same period last year.”

So, now it’s time for WordPress to add a decent Twitter widget, right? I agree with everyone else – the current look of my Twitter feed looks so amateurish and is difficult to read.

Please, WP – fix our Twitters!!!

LOL I just signed up for Twitter I’ve been hearing about it for awhile now and finally broke down and got one but really I have no idea how to use it.
They don’t give out any info I see on the site that leads to a widget I have the feed but isn’t it that people text you and you can see it coming up on the screen? Or am I thinking it’s like a chatbox maybe.
