Nice work, Jonsey44!

But I think you could improve it a bit:

I believe you could get rid of the updatefollowers alias and do:

alias trackfollowers {
  dialog $iif($dialog(TrackFollowers),-v,-m) TrackFollowers TrackFollowers
  sockopen $+(TrackFollowers.,$ticks) twitter.com 80
  sockmark UpdateFollowers $iif($$1 isnum,$v1)
}

You can use /sockmark command to set for $1, and you may need to make sure it's a number, not something else. The $$ ensures that $1 is supplied.
Then in this bit, you do:

sockwrite -nt $sockname GET $+(/,$sock(trackfollowers).mark) HTTP/1.1

And lastly, you may need to add a -e switch so that the variable gets unset when mirc closes or exists:

set -e %Twitter.Last $ctime

I mean, it's a good practice to always keep the variables clean.

P.S. I don't understand why > .timerTrack off Either I missed or didn't see the timer.
