ThinkTwit

Outputs tweets from one or more Twitter users. Activated through the Widget interface, shortcode or Output Anywhere (PHP function call)

Download Version 1.3.1

ThinkTwit is a highly customisable plugin that can output tweets from multiple users (something that very few other plugins can do successfully). It uses the Twitter ATOM API to access tweets which can be cached. It is very simple, yet flexible and easily customised. It can be placed on your Wordpress page simply through drag and drop on the Widgets interface or through the use of Shortcode or Output Anywhere (PHP function call). Updated regularly!
