Show latest tweets

I like the jQuery solution but for what it's worth I'll post here the way I did it. I store the latest tweet in the DB, using a cron'd controller to fetch the tweet. This way, if twitter is down or slow, there is still the previous tweet stored in my DB. I guess it means a lot of database access just for the sake of getting a tweet!

One advantage is that you get access to all the data returned from Twitter and can manipulate it and display it as you wish. Another advantage(?) is that it doesn't require any javascript.

I've got to say though, the jQuery way is excellent if it suits your needs!
