TweetMachine for WP is a simple but yet fully customizable Twitter live feed widget. WP Widget using ryangiglio's excellent jquery-tweetMachine which is a Twitter live feed jQuery plugin. This plugin uses this as a foundation and ads an easy to use but still very customizable WordPress widget.
So why is this widget better than Twitter's standard widget?
- Add you own style. You can style this widget how ever you want to make it fit info your design.
- Fully customizable. You have 100% control over the markup, the CSS and even some of the Javascript. You can disable the default styles and include you own CSS. You can even replace the loader script with your own. With a few simple steps and basic HTML+CSS knowledge you can make this widget look how ever you want.
- Server side cache for better performance. All tweets are cached serverside for improved performance and to minimize the number of API calls(otherwise you may exceed your rate limit. 450 requests per 15 min window) Not implemented yet, but it's coming soon
Features and functionality
- Loads fast. Option to always load form cache first and then refresh.
