Twitter Tweets is a plugin for WordPress that allows you to easily display Tweets from Twitter using widgets, shortcodes and functions. Twitters old API (version 1.0) is now depreciated and will stop working as of March 2013, Twitters new API (version 1.1) requires you to authorize yourself with Twitter using OAuth, Twitter Tweets makes this a breeze! Five Methods for Displaying Tweets

User Timeline – Displays a collection of the most recent Tweets posted by a specified Twitter user

Mentions Timeline – Displays your most recent mentions (tweets containing your @screen_name)

Home Timeline – Displays your collection of most recent Tweets, retweets and tweets of the users you follow

Single Tweet – Displays a single Tweet

Search Tweets – Displays a collection of relevant Tweets matching a specified query
