This plugin can be used to connect to the twitter stream and feed your blog with content in real time. There are three options for how you can receive data from twitter: Follow Users, Follow Track, and Sample.

Following users works by subscribing to user's twitter feeds and taking any tweets they may have made. Using the "track" method allows you to enter certain keywords visitors to your blog may be interested in. Any tweets containing the tracked words you enter will be displayed. Sample mode is mostly for making sure your setup is working correctly. This takes a sample of all tweets (10-15 a second) and displays them. To keep the traffic down the plugin is set to take only 1/50th of sample tweets (about 1 every 5 seconds).
