Using the Twitter Profile Widget module on your Drupal site allows you to very quickly and easily add twitter updates.

Sure, there are other modules that pull twitter feeds, like Twitter Block and Twitter Pull, but the twitter profile widget adds the ability to customize the display of the twitter account you choose.

The module adds a block to your site that you can put anywhere you would normally put a block.

Enabling the module literally takes a matter of minutes. It installs like any other module. After you install it and enable it, navigate to configuration > web services > twitter profile widget settings

You'll then be presented with the settings forms for the widget:

You can adjust the number of tweets, how often to update the tweets, and choose whether or not you want to Poll for new results, Include scrollbar, Show avatars, Show a timestamp, and Show hashtags.

Next, you will find the appearance settings where you can change the colors of the block and text.

Then you can change the dimensions.

And finally, choose whether or not to show the follow link.

If you're looking for a simple, quick, and easy way to get twitter feeds on your site, check this module out.
