My latest plugin is a sidebar widget that handles Twitter feeds. It’s true that you could just point and RSS widget at one of the Twitter feeds, but you end up with the whole tweet (I honestly don’t know what they are called) as a link, @replies don’t function, etc. Twitter Widget Pro properly handles twitter feeds, including @username and link parsing, feeds that include friends or just one user, and can even display profile images for the users. It’s set up like the RSS widgets, so you can have as many of as you want on your sidebars.

I currently have my twitter feed in the right sidebar, showing the last five tweets, and Kevin Rose’s feed (with friends) in the left sidebar, showing profile images along with each of the last 10 tweets.

I tried to make everything easily styled, so there are no built-in styles. If you don’t know exactly what you need, here is what I’m using on this site:

/**
 * Twitter Widget
 */
.widget_twitter li {
	clear:both;
}
.widget_twitter li img {
	float:left;
	margin-right:.5em;
}
.widget_twitter li .clear {
	clear:both;
}
