As you may, or may not know, Twitter are going to depreciate version 1 of their API next March. What does this mean to you? If you currently parse the Json file to display your tweets you will no longer be able to have access unless you use the authentication features. Why authentication? Various reasons I assume to limit users from making unnecessary calls to the API, Security reasons. How do I go about it? Well now you will have to create a Twitter App then use a form of authentication to make the API call.

Display your Tweets Using WOW Tweet Show

Display Your Twitter Posts On Your Web Site!
There are lots of resources out there for displaying your latest twitter posts in your website. Some of them require plugins or some may require javascript to work.

After using it for a little while I decided to make it more functional.

Now that I am a twitterer I have decided to integrate twitter into my WordPress theme. I decided to install WP-Twitip-ID which adds a form field into your comments template, stores the twitter id that is entered and then displays the corresponding twitter ID within the comments.
