Twitter integration

Before I attempt to build my own, I was wondering if anyone has developed a library or code for displaying recent Twitter posts and enabling users to respond to them, similar to the Wordpress plugin? I suppose it will need a caching mechanism to keep from hitting Twitter too frequently. I am familiar with twitter.lib.php but it would speed things up if there was a library with helpers, cache system, templates and the like.

Thanks

Check out Elliot's website for the Twitter API Library.

Thanks!

I don't see support for caching. I do not expect it necessarily in a Twitter library, but that is my next step to tackle. As far as I know, Twitter has rate limits and would prefer people cache their output.

Should I try to use CI caching or should I create a cache for the Twitter statuses?

Have a look at what is simpler to do. I haven't looked much into it. I use a WordPress plugin for this, and to tell you the truth I don't even know if it does that.
