How do you embed Twitter updates on your website?

Answer:
You can use a new service called Tweetizen that lets you embed twitter groups to your website quick and easy - with just 3 lines of code.

Start by going to http://www.tweetizen.com

The below was the OLD way to do it:

<a href="http://twitter.com/YOURUSERNAME">My Twitter Updates</a>
<script type="text/javascript"> function relative_time(time_value) { var values = time_value.split(" "); time_value = values[1] + " " + values[2] + ", " + values[5] + " " + values[3]; var parsed_date = Date.parse(time_value); var relative_to = (arguments.length > 1) ? arguments[1] : new Date(); var delta = parseInt((relative_to.getTime() - parsed_date) / 1000); delta = delta + (relative_to.getTimezoneOffset() * 60);

if (delta < 60) { return 'less than a minute ago'; } else if(delta < 120) { return 'about a minute ago'; } else if(delta < (45*60)) { return (parseInt(delta / 60)).toString() + ' minutes ago'; } else if(delta < (90*60)) { return 'about an hour ago'; } else if(delta < (24*60*60)) { return 'about ' + (parseInt(delta / 3600)).toString() + ' hours ago'; } else if(delta < (48*60*60)) { return '1 day ago'; } else { return (parseInt(delta / 86400)).toString() + ' days ago'; } }

function twitterCallback(obj) { var id = obj[0].user.id; document.getElementById('my_twitter_status').innerHTML = obj[0].text; document.getElementById('my_twitter_status_time').innerHTML = relative_time(obj[0].created_at); } </script> <span id="my_twitter_status"></span>
<span id="my_twitter_status_time"></span>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/YOURUSERNAME.json?callback=twitterCallback&count=1"></script>
