Add Free Twitter Buttons, Badges & Widgets to your Blog or Website

If you have a website, blog or other social media account, then you can link your Twitter account to it. It can be one of the best ways to find new followers for your Twitter account. Doing it with an eye catching button, widget or counter can be even more effective. Of course there are various sites which provide Twitter Buttons and badges and also there are some Official Twitter Badges available. But I found the two below-mentioned sites very useful because even if you don’t know HTML codes there’s no need to worry. You have to just copy-paste the codes into your blog widgets or Web page. The site are:

Twitter Button

This site has some very interesting Twittter Buttons. Simply enter your Twitter ID in the given text-box and click GO! Then copy the code of any button you like and paste it on your blog or website. They have even got personalized Twitter Buttons, where you can display your follower count in real time!

Twitter Buttons

Actually, this site is similar to the one mentioned above – the only difference being the URL and that that it has also got some really cool Twitter Buttons. This site has got more variety of Twitter Buttons and Badges than the ‘Twitter Button’. The functioning of both the sites is quite similar. All you have to do is simply enter your Twitter ID in the text-box and Press GO, then you can copy the code (click "Copy Code") of any button you like and past it on your Blog, Web Page or any where and let others follow you. That's it.

Outbrain – Rating & Recommendation Widget

The outbrain widget is a simple yet powerful ratings & recommendations tool that blends seamlessly into any blog design, inheriting your own look and feel. The widget includes an interactive 5-star rater, and personalized recommended links from your blog as well as others.

User ratings are one of the best ways to get instant feedback from your readers. A simple click of the mouse and Voila! - their opinion is counted. The widget also displays the average rating and number of users who rated the post.

The widget works with a personalization algorithm, which tries to compute a unique Personalized Relevancy Score for each reader, and for every item that is viewed. If the widget has enough data, the reader will see a message indicating how relevant this post may be. The algorithm is mostly based on a reader's rating history so... the more ratings that are cast, the more content can be personalized for each reader.

Installation takes minimal effort and does not require any registration. A few clicks and you are done. The widget supports TypePad, Blogger, Wordpress (installed), Drupal, and custom Javascript for your site.

Widget features -

• Blends into your blog design - It's your blog, and your content ratings, and there is no reason for it to look any different. All outbrain blog widgets inherit the hosting site's styling properties.
  Here are two examples:
• No marketing crap - You won't see an outbrain logo or marketing language such as "Powered by outbrain" on the widget itself.
