Twitter widget and link juice

    I've got this Twitter widget installed on my webpage:
    http://twitter.com/goodies/widgets

    I'm afraid though that for every link it produces, I'm losing "link juice".

    Since the .js is hosted externally, I have no way to control the links via nofollow, etc. Just wondering if you think it'll cause me to lose much PageRank.

    All links posted on Twitter are nofollow anyway, you may be "losing" a tiny bit out to your own Twitter profile but I honestly wouldn't worry about it. Pagerank flowing out of websites is a natural feature of the web. Some may argue it is expected ... especially when it's to your own profile pages.

    Remember PageRank doesn't matter.
