Summary

A configurable web part that provides an in-page Twitter stream for usernames, mentions, and hashtags.

Description

This web part provides drop-in integration for Twitter stream feeds using the Twitter API. It is configurable to provide a stream, based on a username, hashtag, or mentions of a username. The output is straight HTML, with CSS classes available for styling. Extras include a hyperlink insertion and Twitter search links insertion for usernames and hashtags. The web part uses caching to lower the total number of hits to the Twitter API. Twitter API configuration is easily handled by the generation of an API key from any Twitter account.
