Rotating Tweets (Twitter widget and shortcode)

Screenshots

Replaces a shortcode such as [rotatingtweets screen_name='your_twitter'], or a widget, with a rotating display of your most recent tweets Supports v 1.1 of the Twitter API (i.e. it works) Supports the new longer tweet format Space efficient – instead of showing all your tweets at once, shows one at a time and then smoothly replaces it with the next one. After showing all your tweets, loops back to the beginning again. Reliable – keeps showing your latest Tweets even if the Twitter website is down. Customizable – you decide whose tweets to show, how many to show, whether to include retweets and replies, and whether to show a follow button. You can also decide how quickly the tweets rotate and what type of animation to use. Responsive – resizes as your page resizes Gives you the option to show a fully customizable Twitter ‘follow’ button Replaces t.co links with the original link Caches the most recent data from Twitter to avoid problems with rate limiting Uses jQuery, jQuery.Cycle and jQuery.Cycle2 to produce a nice smooth result. Compatible with W3 Total Cache. Supports Do Not Track (DNT) Multi-lingual – now set up to be multi-lingual. The Twitter ‘follow’ button is automatically translated to match your site’s language setting if Twitter has made the appropriate language available. Also uses WordPress’s multi-lingual capability to enable translation of all the other text used by the plug-in via language packs. If you’d like to see what the plug-in looks like in action, you can see the plug-in working here.
