After looking at and trying out a number of different twitter modules I found this one and I really like it. There are not many that do the scrolling so that, along with the easy configuration of the colours etc make this a very nice module.

The only thing that leaves me wondering whether or not to use it is that it doesn't seem to display ReTweets... I don't know if I've done something wrong (although I can't see anywhere that I could have done so as it's so simple to use) or whether it's just the way that it's been written. So, I'm left wondering "Do I use this one that looks great, or go for another that doesn't look so good but does include RTs?"

If there was an option in the config to enable/disable ReTweets then I would rate this as Excellent, but as it doesn't do this I'm only giving it a "Good" four star rating.

Thanks for the effort and thought that has obviously gone into making this module :)

Regards,
Chris.

Installed AlphaTweet on my website and it's hot. Out of the box installation, variable settings, works as advertised. Recommended.

Very good extension. The only one to do the job in Internet explorer 8 and in Firefox too.
The only with a good: animated look-and-feel, settings and so on.
The only feature to update is to let the website users to log in, and see after having "twitted", their posts immediately in the scrolling module. I mean: I access the site, I join twitter I post a twit and I see it in the list scrollling in the module. Another user go to the same website and must have the way to do the same as in a chat.

Aerostrato.
