When creating a Listed count, Follower Count or Tweets count number widget, you can switch on a secondary output. Choose from change from yesterday or goal.

For example, you could track the change in followers from yesterday.

When creating a List tweets widget you can select to display tweets from a Twitter list you subscribe to.

Choose whether to show retweets amongst the tweets on your List tweets and Tweets widgets.

Choose whether to show replies amongst the tweets on your Tweets widgets.

Exclusive to the Search results widget, enter one or more keywords or Twitter @usernames separated by commas. Currently, we don't support the attitude operators —i.e. :) and :( — and the near: operator.
