Very easy slider, does the trick!

Very easy to use slider.. Install, upload images, some options… and it works perfect. Great support also by the developer!

Great Plugin

Very easy to configure, works perfectly and allows the tweet to be styled. Saves lots of hassle with the new Twitter 1.1 API! Well worth 5 stars. Now if only the plugin allowed multiple Twitter feeds
