There’s nothing like a subtle, slick website widget that effectively uses CSS and JavaScript to enhance the user experience. Of course widgets like that take many hours to perfect, but it doesn’t take long for that effort to be rewarded with above-average user retention and buzz. One of the widgets I love is Twitter’s “Follow” button. Davidwalsh show us how we can implement this functionality with three popular JavaScript toolkits: MooTools, jQuery, and Dojo.

This “Follow” button is only one of many details that Twitter has paid attention to, just to make the user experience on the site better. Take note from the effort put forth by large websites — adding these types of details to your smaller websites can make the user experience much better for YOUR users!

Requirements: jQuery Framework, MooTools framework, Dojo Framework
