It’s was a strange day the other day with Twitter, there I was happily tweeting away on my Twitter @BlazingMinds with my trusty Tweetdeck, when I got a read warning message about the Twitter API not working!

“Oh well, nothing to worry about” I thought, but it kept happening more and more, so I decided to visit the Status website for Twitter and find out what was going on…

Yes I have been a busy little bee lately, not only have I tweeked the blog to show a handy little box when you hover over a twitter name in the comments section But, I have also started a Twibbon for those that like the blog so much they can show their support.

So how does this Twibbon work?

Well most of you have probably already seen a Twibbon in action, once you show your support a little “Twibbon” will appear on your Twitter avatar, in the case of Blazing Minds it’s a small version of the Blazing Minds Twitter avatar, it’s really that simple.

So if you do like the blog and would like to show your support which I’m really hoping you will, then please stop by the Blazing Minds Twibbon and show your support

So while searching the net I came across a handy [intlink id="retweet-rt-twitter" type="post"]Twitter Tool[/intlink] called FollowFriday Helper…
