twitter

I manage two corporate Twitter accounts and two personal Twitter accounts, and it would be really useful to know how many followers each account has at the end of each week.

I'm using TweetStats.com to gather statistics at the moment, but the follower stats functionality isn't granular enough to determine the precise number of followers.

Does anyone know of any useful and free tools that can provide the exact number of followers for a specific Twitter account on any given date?

Thank you,

Mike.
