Finally, a sleek and simple HTML widget that lets you show the people you follow on Twitter on your blog or website, without inserting flash, javascript, or other potentially complicated source code. Simply visit the Twitter Friend Widget site, enter your username (no password or other authentication information required) and they'll generate the HTML for you; copy-and-paste it into your blog's sidebar and you're ready for action.

Twitter Friend Widget's strength is in its simplicity - the fact that you don't have to enter your Twitter credentials means that security-minded Twitter users will be reassured that the widget isn't going to leak any sensitive data.

If you're looking for a widget that shows people who're following you, check out Widgetropolis' Twitter Followers Widget, which takes your Twitter authentication information and lets you choose the width of the widget and how many users to show (currently the maximum is just 100 :( ), displaying it in very much the same style as the Twitter Friends Widget.

When it comes to simple widgets, these two take the cake with me, at least. Anyone else out there tried these out?
