Tweet Fader is a plugin for WordPress to show your latest tweets on your WordPress site. The Tweet Fader plugin will add a widget that will display the tweets in your sidebar.
The Tweet Fader widget uses JQuery`s fade in/out effect to display single tweets. It is a clean and simple look integrated in your WordPress theme.
In the widget options you can decide to add the timestamp to your tweets. The timestamp is based on Livestamp and will update live on your WordPress site.
The link can be opend in a new window or the same, it is all up to you.
Tweet Fader requires JQuery to function properly. Please make sure JQuery is enabled in your WordPress site.
