RokTwittie provides a means of transporting the various aspects of Twitter, such as your tweets, your profile information and plus much more, into your Joomla. Perfect for any site with a Social edge.
The configurability of the module is its best feature, allowing you to choose which aspects you wish to show which can result in a short, contracted module or a full page of tweets, searches and information. Tweak the Twittie to your liking.

List of Features
* Real Time Tweets: dynamic updates from Twitter for your tweets
* Search: use the inbuilt search to scan for usernames or keywords to show in RokTwittie
* Profile information: showcase your profile details, such as name, avatar and bio
* Fast Loading: the module has been built for speed and performance
* Highly configurable: with a fantastic amount of options, the module can be changed easily to your own personal preferences
Screenshots
As with almost all of our new extensions since January, RokTwittie is to be considered a standalone module. This means that it comes up with a default style and has been tested on a Joomla! default installation, so that you can install it in other templates and just make the desired CSS tweaks. For this article, I have RokTwittie installed in a default Joomla! 1.5 install, as the screenshot below shows. The screenshot has been split into three sections, of which each will be explaining further in the article.
Each of the three sections above is independent and can be enabled/disabled exclusively. For example, if you just want to show your latest 5 updates, you can easily disable the status and the search options.
