Twitter On Your Website
Twitter is a source of new content for every website, especially if you are a regular Twitter user and have already built a community around your brand or individual name. There are many possibilities to include in a website the tweets coming from the people you follow on Twitter. If you have a website hosted on a server with support for PHP scripts, Twitster can help you to display tweets automatically on any page.
Twitster is a MySQL driven PHP application which will allow you to publish the messages from your Twitter community with a minimum effort. It requires PHP 4.x or higher, MySQL 4.x or higher, as well as a valid Twitter account.
Twitster has an easy to install wizard which will guide you to the setup process: in less than five minutes, the script could be fully functional on your web pages.
Twitster also provides various useful features, like hash tag filtering, RSS update feed, URL autolinking, pagination and smart caching. Further modifications of the initial configuration can be performed by editing the code existing into the config.php file.
The PHP application will automatically publish on the website pages only the tweets coming from the people you are following. For example, if you will leave the tweets unfiltered, meaning that the hash tag field remains blank in the setup wizard, then you get a raw feed of tweets on your site.
Twitster is 100% open source and practically you are allowed to use it for free on your websites. The latest Twitster version is available for free download from the official publisher website.
