Adding Your Tweet Stream to Your Website

It's becoming increasingly fashionable to include in an area of your website, perhaps the side bar, a widget that lists your most recent tweets, as a kind of advertisement for your twitter profile. People browsing your site or blog will see this information and if they are interested in what you have to say may wish to follow you.

In this article we'll be looking at how we can easily add a tweet preview box to our site that automatically fetches your five most recent tweets when the page loads. We'll be using jQuery, of course, to help us achieve this simple but effective widget, and will also look at the excellent Yahoo Pipes service.
