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.

Embed Twitter content, improve sharing on Twitter, convert your web audience into Twitter or Periscope subscribers, and easily track visits to your website from Twitter advertising.
Requires PHP version 5.6 or greater.
<h4>Embed Twitter content</h4>
Embed Twitter content by pasting a URL, customizing a shortcode, or in a widget area.
<ul>
<li><a href="https://github.com/twitter/wordpress/wiki/Embedded-Tweet" title="single Tweet embed" rel="nofollow ugc">single Tweet</a></li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/twitter/wordpress/wiki/Embedded-Profile-Timeline" title="Twitter embedded profile timeline" rel="nofollow ugc">profile timeline</a></li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/twitter/wordpress/wiki/Embedded-List-Timeline" title="Twitter embedded list timeline" rel="nofollow ugc">list timeline</a></li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/twitter/wordpress/wiki/Embedded-Collection-Timeline" title="Twitter embedded collection" rel="nofollow ugc">collection</a></li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/twitter/wordpress/wiki/Moments" title="Twitter embedded Moment" rel="nofollow ugc">Moment</a></li>
</ul>
Customize embed display to match your theme. Choose a light or dark background, customize link and border colors, and customize timeline template components through your site’s WordPress administrative interface.
The plugin automatically customizes an embed’s template text to match the locale of your site, optimally loads Twitter’s JavaScript to improve site speed and extensibility, and handles advanced use cases such as articles loaded asynchronously via the WordPress API.

Motivated by our love to twitter and its analytics we have launched a tool to complement this plugin.  https://wordpress.org/plugins/ki-twitter-analytics/ 

Analytics now available

there are two type of twitter card: summary_large_image and summary

<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image" />
if you need change to large image, you need add below code to twitter.php manually, not in the admin panel:


function twitter_card_type( $card_type, $query_type, $object_id )
{
 return 'summary_large_image';
}
add_filter('twitter_card_type', 'twitter_card_type', 10, 3);
