   Anyone know how to have this plugin display more than 3 tweet posts?

   Also, any way of altering or editing the update rate as well?

   Thanks :)

   I was able to do this, but it took a few steps to do so.

   First the querystring must be changed to get more posts. This is found in the newstweet-ajax.php file line 8:

   $url = 'http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q='.urlencode($_POST['searchterm']).'&rpp=3&lang=en';

   Change rpp=x to be the number of posts you want to get. You can paste this into your web browser to see the results.

   Next, I don't think that the new results will all appear (though) I'm still not clear on this.

   In the news-tweet-utils.js file, you need to add the items to show. See line 82+.

   jQuery(document).ready(function(){
   
   jQuery(".x").show();
   
   jQuery(".0").fadeIn(2000);
   jQuery(".1").fadeIn(1250);
   jQuery(".2").fadeIn(500);
   
   //add similar code below to show extra items.
   jQuery(".3").fadeIn(0);
   jQuery(".4").fadeIn(0);
   jQuery(".5").fadeIn(0);
   jQuery(".6").fadeIn(0);
   jQuery(".7").fadeIn(0);
   jQuery(".8").fadeIn(0);
   jQuery(".9").fadeIn(0);

   That should do it.

   As for your update rate, the setInterval code needs to be changed in newstweet.php.

   var si = setInterval('gotoPoll()',60000);

   60000 is milliseconds, equal to 60 seconds. So change that accordingly, but be advised you could really slow your page down.
