Imbed Twitter Feed on webpage

Hey Experts,

I want to imbed twitter functionality into my webpage, and have it display the latest tweet from a user. Please tell me how to do this.

The following page: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/embedded-tweets

seems to give information on how to get a specific tweet on the webpage, but not how to get the most recent tweet (updated) onto the webpage. It seems on all of the examples you are passing in an 'ID' that is the id of the specific Tweet.

Please help. Hopefully this will be simple for some of you to explain. Please go into detail, because when they say 'cache the response', I'm not sure how to do that.

I'm using MVC in C# (.NET 4.0)

Thanks for any help!

Open in new window

result_type= recent
rpp = posts per page

Now it just needs to be decoded from Json.

Should be easy in C# . I don't know C#

You could also use their RSS feed. (I know, not official, but...)

I didn't see anything in your code that was user specific.

p.s. you don't need much code to develop a feed reader that will show you the latest item...
