Allows simple integration between your sidebar widgets and the official twitter widget
** THIS WIDGET WILL STOP WORKING AFTER MAY 7TH 2013 **
This is when Twitter stop unauthenticated calls to their API, and block the old
widgets. https://dev.twitter.com/blog/api-v1-retirement-final-dates
This plugin won’t support the new Twitter Widget.

1. Upload un-official-twitter-widget.php to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

Will this plugin slow my blog down

The new twitter widget uses asynchronous javascript to load, this allows the rest of your blog to continue loading
whilst it fetches your latest tweets.
