Looking for a great little twitter feed plugin, wel I sure was and after all the changes Twitter made in the past year to thier API most of my favorites had quit working and I needed a new one recently. You get allot of customizations for the twitter feed and even a choice of where to pull it from. You can pull from the home timline, the user timeline, mentions individule tweets. You get some great css controls ove the apperance and more. If you opt for the premium version you get a few more feature.
