One of the best ways to find new followers for your Twitter account is to leverage any other online profile that you might already have. If you have a website, blog or other social media account linking to your Twitter account is a great way to do this.
Doing it with an eye catching button, widget or counter can be even more effective. Of course there are some Official Twitter Badges available… but what if you want something a little different?
Below are some links to places where you can download 181 different free Twitter buttons, widgets, badges and counters to use on your site (actually there are over 181 when you consider the different sizes, colors, formats that are available on some of these options).
Randa Clay – Free Twitter Graphics
18 different Twitter buttons like this one.
Siah Design – Free Twitter Buttons
42 Twitter buttons – some of them animated
MilkAddict – Twitter button
2 simple round buttons.
31 Logos et boutons pour Twitter
31 great buttons. The blog might not be in English but the buttons are. Some great designs here.
TwitStamp
A little widget that shows your latest twits that comes in a variety of looks, sizes and formats.
TwitGif
The instructions are in Japanese but enter your Twitter account profile and it’ll produce a little widget that you can put in your sidebar with your latest tweets. It includes your avatar and scrolls through your latest tweets.
Twignature
Another Japanese creation that allows you to enter your account name and have a personalized twitter button with your account name on it. Lots of sizes and a few different styles to choose from.
Web Design by mt
10 Twitter Buttons for Free (German – I think)
Twitt-Twoo
WordPress plugin Widget for your blog’s sidebar. There’s another WP sidebar widget plugin here.
Twitter button Icon
Nice looking, high res button
Follow me on Twitter badges
36 colorful Twitter badges
TwitterCounter
A service that tracks your subscriber numbers and produces a twitter counter badge for you.
SayTweet
Not really a badge but you could probably use it as one. It allows you to upload an image and then have your latest tweets appear on it like this
TwitterCard
Another twitter widget
Note: I’ve removed the TwitterCard widget from this post as it seemed to be slowing the loading of this page down. Might be worth testing it before using it.
Of course the above collection of sources of free twitter buttons, badges and widgets just scratch the surface of what is available. If you know of others I’d love to see them linked to in comments below.

Darren,
Totally enjoying this new blog of yours, I had no idea of some of the features, tricks, and tips I had been missing out on with Twitter!
Keith
What an awesome list! Thanks Darren. I’ve been doing tons of Google searches lately trying to find some different buttons. This looks like a pretty comprehensive list to me!
Cheers,
Nick
http://www.macheesmo.com
great idea, Darren. I LOL’d at the photo of you with the speech bubble… I’ll start buttoning my way around now…
Thanks for including my little badges Darren! Lots of other cool ones out there I was not aware of!
Gotta Come back Darren, looks like some interesting buttons. Got a full Plate today,
See You again soon. Keep Hope Alive! God Is Good. Love that “TwitStamp”.
Wow, great list! I’ve been using the twitter counter for sometime now, and I’ve noticed that the numbers get refreshed only once every 12 hours or so.
I really like this twitter stamp. Looking for a suitable place on my blog to put that up..
Thanks Darren – I’ve just been searching for these since starting on twitter yesterday!
Darren,
I enjoyed Twitter button from Siah Design
Darren,
Thanks for all you do. Your blogs are always very informative.
ooo, I love that ‘twitter button icon’ high res button it looks like a ‘mac’ icon! What a great resource of badges, widgets. I have to say, although I have not put it up yet, the guy behind Twitter Counter was sooo nice, I am a stickler with everything matching on my site and He sent me a custom widget with the web colors I asked for. Nice service!
I made my own badge…to match my site… of course. Ha!
Thanks for the resources!
Thanks Darren. I had on my agenda to add a “Follow me onTwitter” link, so you read my mind.
Great Resource. Twitt-Twoo and TwitStamp are gems in the list.
Awesome! This saves me from having to use the old standard “Follow Me On Twitter” link. I’ll def. be using this on my new blog. Thanks again Darren!
BTW- I just started a new blog and I gave a shout out to you in my latest post. You are an inspiration!
Hey that’s great.
You’re site is rapidly becoming the one stop twitter place.
I’ll be sure and put some of theses graphics to use in my daily twitter experience.
Thanks,
Greg
I updated my websites yesterday with a anew “Follow me on twitter” with orange footsteps icon, will be testing it for a while to see if followers increase.
I like TweetSnap. Very clean looking, yet shows your most recent tweet.
Thanks Darren! I was just thinking the other day that I needed a twitter badge on my blog. Your post was just in the nick of time.
Thanx for the comprehensive list, and for being such a great resource!
This is just an EPIC list : Amazing collection !
Keep up the great work
hey nice post dude, i searching these things today but now i got the right place. thanx
Awesome! I’ve been looking for great badges and widgets, now I’ve found it. Great collection. Thanks for posting!
Wow thanks for the great list! I love twitter and this will be super fun to add to my blog.
Awesome info as always Darren. There are so many awesome one’s I’m not sure which one’s to pick! Thanks for doing this blog.. It’s a lifesaver to a newbie 2.0 and Twitterer.
Nice post Darren, finding button good button is always good. Helps save time from trying to make them.
Awesome list!! I was looking for a logo to add to my site. Now I have a bunch of choices to look through
Ooooh, neat! Thanks, Darren! The official Twitter badges are pretty lame.
Thanks’ for the list, great source. It’s allways good to grab your visitors attention.
twitter does invite plenty of interest from graphic designers and developers, i look forward to many more.
Great post Darren, I used Randa’s badges on 2 of my popular blogs.
ahh, some useful stuff! Just find a freaken badge and use it!
wow… do I DARE add one of these????
Posts like this are the ones that forces me to become a lazy person, because I don’ t have to look anymore for this type of resources elsewhere.
Darren, great post as usual.
Fabulous information, as always. I love the high res button. Way cool! Thanks so much for a plethora of options
As usual..awesome collection. I knew about some of these.But, some are just too good to miss! Thanks for the work!
WOW! I had no idea there were so many cool options! How can I choose just one…..
Great stuff! No idea how I’m going to decide on which to use though, and all of ‘em might be a bit much.
Cute Twitter buttons! I want to have them all. This gives me an idea. Designers should make tutorials on how to create your own “follow me on Twitter” button on photoshop. ^_^
Love those badges! This is a great list that you compiled; thanks.
Nice list. Another one that I use to post my latest Tweet is Twittertag (http://twittertag.com/). It only offers one size of image right now but they are working on other sizes. I really like TwitterCounter as well great service.
@transitenator
Thanks for compiling. Found something ‘new’ to me
@hectorhenry17

@KasumiSEO
Useful post Darren – Its always good to use eyc catching badges and images to help stand out from the crowd.
@webduck
I love it when people do my research for me. I have been using Twitter for quite a while, but it wasn’t until recently that I started using more of the other applications. Thank so much for starting this blog so we have one place to check out the latest and greatest Twitter-related news.
@Michelle_Wallis
Hi Darren, I love the different Twitter buttons , I think the animated ones are very sweet, but will get the twitGIF I think as it adds an extra dimension, Great informative blog as usual thanks
@professionallab
Nice, Creative……… Wish more little tiny and animated graphics that easily can be placed in small space.
@mustra

@JennKim
Darren,
Thanks for sharing. You saved me hours and hours of digging around. Thanks again and Happy Holidays.
Nice twitter collection, but you’ve forgot http://twitbuttons.com/
This tool generates code for follow me buttons and hosts button images. It is fast and easy and very usable
@twitty:
the site you’ve mention is copy, the better one and orignal site is http://www.TwitterButtons.com being used by biggies like Toyota, Sony, National WildLife Federation etc..
@maxon
might be a copy, but much better than alleged original
Nice list…

http://www.twitterbuttons.com

@ThinkerGoneMad
Nifty list…

A fellow twitter member just gave me this link to this site. It is outstanding! I am sure I will be back and use it often. I will help promote it too. I already gave it a thumbs up on StumbleUpon. I am going to add buttons to all of my lenses at Squidoo!
This is the first one I am adding it too as it gets lots of traffic.

I just finished a new Wordpress widget that creates a visual graph of your twitter follower stats. While it’s still being considered for the official plug-in directory, you can find it on my site at http://blog.4minds.com/downloads/twitter-visual-stats/. Impress your visitors with your skills at attracting more followers.

Hey, just wanted to say hello from TwitStamp and thank you for featuring our site on your blog! We’re in the process of revising the site and adding features, so any feedback is appreciated.

Again, thanks!

I’m working on increasing my twitter profile. These were very helpful. I had to create new twitter profile for my blogs and my online life and I’ve had to start fresh.

I like the Twitter button Icon never seen that one till now, nice post!!!
There’s also a Twitter Followers Box, like Facebook Fan Box, but for twitter. What I liked about it is it has much more customization options and allows easy following without redirecting to twitter.

@TrafficHug
Can I offer mine to the forray?
I offer a CUSTOMISED Twitter Badge with the advantages that it is pre linked. Just paste in the HTML to your Blog (sidebar widget or article post or page), eCommerce Store, or website.
There is no charge, but it must remain intact.
You can get it from
http://www.traffichug.com/twitter/category/badge/
You might wonder WHY you would add a Twitter badge to an out and out eCommerce store?
Well that is the point. Instant community for the real estate of 1 badge.. Instant client feedback. And dependinghow you run your Twitter, instant sales promotion stream for new items, sales items, second hand items, and so on..
Happy Tweet’ing
Peter

@kevandisa
Great collection, I’ve been struggling to find other high quality follow us badges, since the ‘web 2.0′ side button seems to slow down our website quite significantly we had to find another replacement quickly.
Seems like there’s quite a few choices here we could potentially use.
@pson83

@kathysfigurines
I don’t know who is to blame but the twitter counter does not work properly. I don’t know if it’s the people at twittercounter, or twitter itself.
Read the posts on the twitter counter help section. NO ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS.
