New Project: Tweet Lovers

With the shutdown of the plain text authorization protocol for Twitter, many Twitter plugins for WordPress are broken now. Sabine (yes, she again) used a plugin to show some love to her Twitter followers by displaying her Twitter followers in a widget. Due to this change, the plugin stopped working. And it seems all other similair plugins. Guess what she did…. Yep, she came to me again. So, I’m going to develop a WordPress plugin named “Tweet Lovers” which will show the Twitter profile pictures of the ones you are following or your followers in a widget.

I’ve made a rough first version which you can view here in the sidebar and a screenshot of the admin area here below. Advantage of the way this plugin communicates with Twitter it doesn’t need your password. Only your Twitter username.

UPDATE: The rough version is now available. Please note this version is absolutely not finished yet.
