I have installed the Twitter module which is pulling the messages posted from one twitter account into drupal site. However, it does not show the messages posted from the followers/followees.

The only way I found is to add friends' twitter accounts manually as twitter accounts from the admin "my account" page. This way, however, everytime I follow someone on twitter I need to add the account on Drupal as well.

Isn't there a better way of doing this? Is it possible with this module or any other module to be able to see all the messages of self and followees in the feed automatically?

Thanks in advance

There are a lot of things you can do with the Twitter API, and what you're describing is one of them, but it's not part of the Twitter module. I would suggest that you open a feature request issue for the Twitter module project and start a conversation about how and whether the module should be expanded to encompass each account's friend feed.

It's not a very complicated problem with a single-user site, but the Twitter module is intended to support multiple users with zero to many feed accounts, and scalability starts getting tricky.

I just used Panels module and made a page to view the sites tweets. It isn't exactly "integrated" into drupal, but it allows you to add any of the popularly available widgets and badges to show recent tweets, friends, followers etc..

There are a ton out there and Panels works for me using a javascript and a flash one. I can even add a CSS class to the panel and theme the javascript one..
