Resources

This simple plugin will allow you to show you your tweets on your page. This is often preferred than to do it server side, as any non critical resource gathering you can shift to the client is a win for your server's resources.

Usage

Using this plugin is very simple. The only required property is userName.

$(document).ready(function() { $('#tweets').buzzard({ userName: 'alexdickson', maxTweets: 1 }); });

Customisation

You can customise the number of tweets displayed by passing in the property maxTweets. Default is 5.

    @Andy I never thought of that! Well considering it's using the Twitter API, I imagine it will just return no tweets! It would be silly if Twitter protected it's tweets through the HTML view, but then showed them through the API (with no login details).

    Nice plugin!

    But what about users whose tweets are protected?
