I love the simplicity of the module, so I updated it to make it work with Joomla 2.5.x
and for the publisher, you can update your tag to show Joomla 2.5 :)

I take my hat off to the guys who developed this module. I was looking for a simple twitter feed to display my latest tweet on my site. After using several others that didn't do what i wanted them to do, i came across this one. :) It works a treat. It's quick and simple, and is easily customizable. I recommend it to anyone looking for a simple twitter feed :)

For any site I build that needs a simple twitter user stream, Twitter Feed is my go-to solution every time.

Looking forward to an update for 1.7, or else I will be very sad!

I would have gave this 5 stars but for some strange reason it shows 3 tweets when i would prefer all to be shown, i choose show 30 tweets also but that did not change anything, maybe a bug. maybe supposed to be like this, i'll have to remove for this reason the "tweet count" in the settings does not work as far as i can tell.

This is a great module! It speaks for itself!

BUT: It would be great if it did also work without the user. I'm looking for a module that just uses hashtags# to search. It would be a great adjustment!

I've been having a play to find a nice, simple Twitter display module for my website. This looked compatible with my system and suitably simple. The back-end parameters are nicely flexible without being over the top and it looks easy to style in CSS.

Nice module, great features, just what I needed. I look at the code, and it's pretty messy, Wish they took care of it.

For me it's not excellent, because it doesn't display the Module title.

Really like this module but I, like others was disappointed about not having multiple user support.

Easily fixed if you just go into the module manager and copy the module. Then you have full control over how many users (the number of copies of the module) and how many posts you want to display of each. I know it's a work around, but a real simple one.

Perfect for my site.

Excellent extension, very easy to use and customize. A no-brainer if you want to integrate Twitter in your site!

I do wish it was possible to aggregate multiple Twitter feeds inside this module. (It's possible to duplicate the module and set different modules to different feeds, but I'd like to aggregate several feeds related to my site, then display the most recent x posts no matter who they're from.)

Works better than just importing a twitter RSS feed with default joomla feed module. I was impressed that links are included as actual links and not just plain text.

Only con, I would like it to display dates that my tweets were added. Maybe a way to toggle dates.

Thought it was the extension, but my Twitter feed itself was old, and buggy. Hooked up a different account and discovered that the extension is absolutely beautiful: search items are BOLD, link text can be anything (mine is a colon which looks wonderful next to the colon that follows the link text!).
Highly recommended.

Tried all the other half hearted attempts at displaying a twitter feed on Joomla with out great success, except this one. Works exactly as it says it will, very customisable, fast and reliable.

I was so impressed I actually created an account here to give it this praise.
