Fetch Tweets WordPress Plugin
Fetches and displays tweets from twitter.com with the Twitter API.
It displays tweets in the sidebar, posts, and pages. It does not rely on JavaScript so the tweets will be displayed to visitors disabling JavaScript in their browsers. Not only can you show your own tweets but also the mashed up results of multiple user's timelines.
It is easy to set up for WordPress beginners. It does not require you to provide authentication keys.
Media files are automatically displayed such as YouTube videos and photos posted in tweets. You can disable them with the setting.
It allows developers to write additional add-ons and templates. One of the extensions, Feeder, supports feeds so you can subscribe your favorite person’s tweets as RSS, which has become harder as the Twitter API was upgraded and the previous version no longer support tweet feed without
