## Description

Twiget Twitter Widget lets you display your latest twitter status updates in any
of the widgetized areas. Just add the Twiget Twitter Widget to your sidebar or any
of the widget areas and enter your twitter username. It will display your latest
tweets along with a **follow @username** button to make it easier for people to 
follow you! You can configure widget title, twitter username, number of tweets to
display, link target etc, in the widget configuration.

Features:

 * Twitter API 1.1 support
 * Twitter requests caching with auto-optimised duration for performance
 * AJAX-based so your site’s load time is not affected by Twitter’s server
 * Multiple instances of widget
 * Option to change widget title
 * Option to change number of tweets to display
 * Option to show followers count, profile picture, and Twitter bio
 * Option to show twitter client used. Eg: via Twitter for Android
 * Option to open links in a new window
 * Option to hide @replies
 * Linkified @usernames and #hashtags

Twiget is developed by [Syahir Hakim](http://www.khairul-syahir.com/) of [Graphene Theme](http://www.graphene-theme.com/)
