Active Twitter users will love Twitter Counter. It tracks daily follower counts for Twitter users, and presents a graph of the information.
Twitter Counter also provides a Twitter follower count chicklet. If you have seen FeedBurner feed count chicklet, you would bre forgiven for confusing it for Twitter Counter chicklet. They’re very similar. See the chicklet to the right (bottom if you are viewing this in a feed reader).
Twitter Counter recommends placing the chicklet on your blog to let your visitors see how many Twitter followers you have. This can also help increase click-throughs to your Twitter profile, and gain you a few more followers. I will probably be placing it on this blog in the near future.
One thing to note: the chicklet code that Twitter Counter provides includes a proper hyperlink to the Twitter Counter website. I would recommend replacing it with a link to your Twitter profile because of the reason mentioned above (using it to increase your followers). If you feel that this is like biting the hand that feeds you, you can add a link just below the chicklet stating “Chicklet by Twitter Counter” or something similar.

Thanks for the review! We do offer a direct link from the stats page to your Twitter account but I can understand if people want to hack their code so it points directly to their twitteraccount.
I also have something else to offer. If you want a custom counter you can contact me and I can build you one for free.
@Boris: Thanks for the offer – will contact you soon
