great twitter idea, any advice?

wow i never checked this thread back after a couple of weeks, since there was no response. i would be very happy to contribute money to this mod, it should be pretty straightforward for someone who knows what they are doing, with the twitter API.

all i want is a little box on the forum index that displays the twitters our users send.

that looks like the exact opposite, twittering FROM vb to twitter.

our site is deal-oriented, among other things. what i specifically envision is...

say a member is out at target and they see that a TV is on clearance for a really good price, they could twitter (somehow lol), and say 'hey this tv is really cheap at target in franklin, va', and that appears on the forum index.

I got both of these to work but they just display a users tweets.
I created a username for my site and was thinking if i follow everyone from my forum i could then just show all the tweets on the page just like if i go to twitter.com with the forum username.

I got it working how i want it but now I need to figure out how to add the user's icon/twittername. here's the code. You have to add it as a new page and put the twitter name in place of USERNAME.

<div id="twitter_div">
<h2 class="sidebar-title">User Updates</h2>
<ul id="twitter_update_list"></ul>
<a href="http://twitter.com/USERNAME" id="twitter-link" style="display:block;text-align:right;">Follow US on Twitter and your Tweets will show up here too</a>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://twitter.com/javascripts/blogger.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline/USERNAME.json?callback=twitterCallback2&amp;count=25"></script>
