About TweetRoll
From the official readme · v1.6Description
A smart badge that shows your Twitter details and who you’re following on Twitter. It shows your friends’ avatars and invites your readers to come and follow you too.
The plugin makes use of the TweetBurn server and doesn’t reduce the number of API calls you can make without hitting Twitter’s limit. It also automatically integrates with Sponsored Tweets and if you have an account on that service, it will automatically invite viewers to Sponsor one of your Tweets.
Setting up the widget is simple, just install the plugin, activate, and specify your Twitter user name. Once the widget is installed, you can log into Tweetburn and change your colours, size and even captions.
