Xpert Tweets
This is a basic twitter feed which does mostly what it says in the description.

Where is does let itself down (and why I didn't give it more stars) is:
- No 'live' feed: you have to refresh the page to get updates.
- Search term is restricted to just the one word, and you cannot use a native Twitter API search term.
- No 'follow me' button.
- No or little documentation.

If the above features aren't needed, then this is a good looking, basic module and should provide all you need.

Live Tweets
This does what it says, however it is a little basic for my needs.

I would have given it more stars if it have more functionality.

The features it is missing are:
- No live feed (you have to refresh the page to get any updates)
- Only accepts a single word search
- Lack of documentation

Twitter-Roll 'The Module'
This is pretty much the twitter feed module I've been looking for.

You can have more than one feed on a page, and can have multiple search terms by using a twitter API search term (see previous reviews for details).

I would have given this 5 stars but for the fact that there's no documentation around search terms and no 'follow me' button. Hopefully these can be provided in the next version?
Owner's reply

PaulDV, thanks for your review and rating. Based on your comments, I would suggest you give my updated release called Twitter Roll Deluxe (http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/social-web/social-display/twitter-display/21183). This release will do everything you asked for and more... a lot more!

JComments
This works exactly as described and matches the demo.

Setting up was a breeze and I had the base comments hooked into my K2 installation in a couple of minutes.

Excellent component!
