Let’s start this introduction about a sweet little workaround for a javascript based twitter widget with a big hug and a Happy Birthday! (…sorry, I am a little late to the 10th anniversary party)¹ to the whole twitter team that created such a tremendously useful service, where people can connect and share their thougts in a short but very effective way.

Sure. Twitter has it up and downsides like any other platform and while a lot of devs are upset about a restrictive API policy (just think about the token limit for 3rd party twitter clients) there is a big community of creative heads that try to find the right solution for nearly any concern you might be possible to think of.

While working on my little personal website I came up with the idea, that a short excerpt of my twitter feed at the bottom of page might be a design and information element that would complement my site in a nice way.
