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.

Seaofclouds Tweet!

Super flexible Twitter plugin for displaying tweets on your blog

<ul>
<li>Replaces a <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode" rel="nofollow ugc">shortcode</a> such as <code>[rotatingtweets screen_name='your_twitter']</code>, or a <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Widgets" rel="nofollow ugc">widget</a>, with a rotating display of your most recent tweets</li>
<li>Supports the <a href="https://dev.twitter.com/overview/api/upcoming-changes-to-tweets" rel="nofollow ugc">new longer tweet format</a></li>
<li>Supports <a href="https://blog.twitter.com/official/en_us/topics/product/2017/tweetingmadeeasier.html" rel="nofollow ugc">280 characters</a></li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>Reliable – keeps showing your latest Tweets even if the Twitter website is down.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>Responsive – resizes as your page resizes</li>
<li>GDPR-friendly – with default settings, collects no user data and shares no user data (including IP addresses) with anyone else. Supports ‘Do Not Track’ (DNT).</li>
<li>Gives you the option to show a fully customizable Twitter ‘follow’ button. For note, because of the way Twitter’s code for the Twitter button works, the button will display as a regular text link to site visitors who have set ‘Do Not Track’.</li>
<li>Replaces <a href="http://t.co" rel="nofollow ugc">t.co</a> links with the original link</li>
<li>Caches the most recent data from Twitter to avoid problems with rate limiting</li>
<li>Uses <a href="http://jquery.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">jQuery</a>, <a href="http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle/" rel="nofollow ugc">jQuery.Cycle</a> and <a href="http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle2/" rel="nofollow ugc">jQuery.Cycle2</a> to produce a nice smooth result.</li>
<li>Compatible with <a href="/plugins/w3-total-cache/" rel="nofollow ugc">W3 Total Cache</a>.</li>
<li>Multi-lingual – now set up to be multi-lingual. The Twitter ‘follow’ button is automatically translated to match your site’s language setting <a href="https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/developer-utilities/supported-languages/api-reference/get-help-languages" rel="nofollow ugc">if Twitter has made the appropriate language available</a>. Also uses <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/I18n_for_WordPress_Developers" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress’s multi-lingual capability</a> to enable translation of all the other text used by the plug-in via <a href="https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/rotatingtweets" rel="nofollow ugc">language packs</a>.</li>
</ul>
If you’d like to see what the plug-in looks like in action, you can <a href="http://www.martintod.org.uk/2012/05/29/new-twitter-plugin-to-show-tweets-in-rotation/" rel="nofollow ugc">see the plug-in working here</a>.
