I was trying to find a new twitter widget for Blogger to show my Twitter updates. The one I'm using now, which is the same that is included in WordPress as well, is plain and boring looking. I came across a new widget from Twitter. Not only did they update the look of the original widget, but they added a new widget to show updates based on search criteria!
You can find the new widgets here: http://twitter.com/goodies/widgets
I tried the new widget on this blog, and it didn't look quite right. The header was too tall and the updates didn't scroll properly. So I had to revert to the original.
I tried the new widget on my Rivyoohoo site and it looks great. There are a few parameters that you can modify. The author of the widget Dustin Diaz has a blog post that explains some of these options.
Showing twitter updates based on search criteria is really cool. I can't wait to find a place to use that functionality.
Twitter also updated the widgets for Facebook and Myspace.
If you need to revert to the old widgets, you can find them here: http://twitter.com/badges.

Hey thanks for the help. I just tried to put the new widget on my site and it looked terrible!
Glad to be of help. It took me a while to find the old scripts myself.
