I have just spent HOURS downloading, installing, and failing with almost every single Twitter feed module out there--and being an old lady with limited knowledge, I can't even tell you what was wrong.
BUT then I came across this one and installed it and BAM, it WORKS...beautifully!
Thank you!

Will display my tweets but they will eventually disappear, I love the fact that it is template driven but this module is still in BETA, This is important to me to know in advance as I will never use a BETA product.
I tried to go to the website to get help with this problem but as with all these developers they have the register, forum, wait days kinda support.
Blah blah blah, moving on and will look for another. I am a busy person and do not have time to fluff your forum because you think I owe you that.

Installed easily, works great, easy to customize, however, roughly 1/3 of the time it does not load the tweets, but instead an error message. This is still the only twitter extension I have tried based on the previous comments though.
I am happy with this module. All other were in war with some extensions and this one is clean, has great options and it's easy to configure. Thumbs up!!
Had it up and running in no time. Very good module!
This is a great extension, but had some early dev faults that need to be addressed, which I'm sure the developer will do :¬). But just in case here is a list of what I had to do to get the code perfect for W3C validation:
1. Move all CSS statements into CSS style sheet file, removing the PHP from the margin settings.(I set this to the required distance manually)
2. Add the "word-wrap: break-word;" to the TWEET css style.
3. Change css types from ID to class so they can be reused on repeating tweets.
4. Add spaces to the HELP.PHP file for the parameter definition for the image_html in between the ALT and SRC tags.
So, I'm now using this module, very happy with it, but needs extra work to make if pure, but worth the effort.
And I haven't found any modules conflicts either which plaques some of the other tweeting modules.

This module just works.
I had major problems with other twitter modules, including some that really had problems with my SEF setup.
TweetXT worked perfectly with my site and because it uses the MCV system I was able to style it to fit nicely within the site.

For some reason I had trouble with the more popular twitter feeds, then I came across this and it did exactly what I expected it to do.
I needed to do some custom CSS to make it fit with my design but as the extension isn't big I quickly found the php files where the style was declared. My only recommendation would be to include the CSS files externally.
Couldn't be easier to integrate. 5 stars from me.

I have been through several Twitter modules. Some just didnt work correctly while others had poor design. Then I found yours. It offers two different styles and the necessary instant updates that are needed for the site. Kudos to a great module. I will tinker around with the background colors for the module. Again...glad to see this module out there. Definitely 5 stars!
