It seems like every twitter plugin for WP does one of two things- pushes your blog posts to twitter, or shows your own tweets on your site.
I wanted to show tweets of the people I follow on my sidebar, and it seemed like it hadn’t been covered yet. Fortunately I knew of an awesome jQuery plugin, Seaofclouds Tweet! – http://tweet.seaofclouds.com/- 
that lets you not only show tweets from a twitter list, but also from a search query, and of course just from a specific user. You can customize appearance with CSS and custom templates that control the content 
that appears in the tweets.
A quick port to WP and you now can have all this flexibility from the Settings->Tweet! menu in your WP Admin. Add tweet feeds from the settings page and then add them to your site using the widget or shortcode.
Details on shortcode and custom template use are found on the settings page.

<h4>Featured Reviews for Custom Twitter Feeds</h4>
“Great for Customization – Great plugin! Superb customization options! Am changing all twitter feeds for all my websites to this! I have tried several Twitter plugins so far. This is the best I have come across 🙂” – <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-for-customization-2/" rel="ugc">@nehavivekpatil</a>
“Excellent plug-in. Excellent support. – Excellent instructions and guidance. Patient and prompt support for the newbies. Regular updates. You can’t lose. Thank you Smash Balloon.” – <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excellent-plug-in-excellent-support-2/" rel="ugc">@nuspa</a>
“Amazing Support and a Great Twitter Plugin – I am using the free version of this Twitter plugin and identified a real problem in the display on my website. I emailed support and Craig was all over the fix for me. Seven or so emails later (even on a Sunday) the problem was fixed and Craig was still reaching out to make sure all was well.“
In a world of crappy support for premium plugins, and even worse support for free plugins, this kind of support (and listening to customers) that Craig and Smash Balloon provided me make their premium products worth every penny. In fact, I am going to buy them for my next project. They deserve it.“
Thanks again, Craig!” – <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/topic/amazing-support-and-a-great-twitter-plugin/" rel="ugc">@kcwebguy</a>

“Everything you’ll need in a Twitter feed plugin – We’ve tried a few Twitter feed plugins across a bunch of our sites, and this one is now our go-to favorite. Most of the others we’ve tried have either styling or performance issues, but we’ve been using this plugin for a few months now, and it’s been perfect. There are tons of customization options, the feed looks great, and… it works!“
