I can only get a 'Recent Tweets' block on the sidebar of my user page. I'm using it on my personal blog site, so I'm the only user. Thanks ahead of time. Otherwise great module, I love that I can tick "send blog post to twitter". Thanks!

cglusky commentedI would have a look at FeedAPI or Activity Stream modules. And just use the Twitter Search API to return an Atom feed to the block. Much more flexible. I would say that you may be limited to the number of requests via the Twitter API, so you are probably better off creating nodes from the feed via FeedAPI. That way you have a copy in your database and can create views and do other cool node things to them as you see fit.
I would recommend this gets a status change to "won't fix" because I think the limits on the Twitter API will prevent an "All Users Tweets" type of module from seeing the light of day.
Use:
FeedAPI http://drupal.org/project/feedapi
with
Twitter Search API http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Search+API+Documentation
But I will let others weigh in first as it's not my project.

attheshow commentedI did this by editing the default "Recent Tweets" Views block and removing the user id argument. I configured the view to list tweets for all twitter users on my site and moved the block into a sidebar region that appears on every page.
Comment #3
eaton commentedIndeed. Given the amount of confusion that it generates I'm considering removing the argument on that twitter block, or even exposing a second block called "All tweets." Any thoughts?
Comment #4
attheshow commentedI think the second block sounds like a good idea. It will keep people from having to deal with arguments, which took me a little while to wrap my head around.
