Hi, I would get the user's timeline, such as home page for logged in users does at twitter.com website. So I would get all his twits and his friends.
Reading docs I wrote a module implementing hook_block with content twitter_fetch_timeline('myuser') but only his tweets are shown.
Do I have to login that user using API? User is default global configured, so I suppose would be logged in by default (password is set in administration settings).

You need to use twitter streaming API.
To display tweets in real time from your following like twitter does, a combination of nodejs and websockets will be ideal.
Here is a rough implementation of that http://andregoncalves.com/2009/12/29/Nodejs-twitter-streaming-with-html5...
But to integrate with twitter module, we need to use Oauth instead of basic auth as used in above article.

I had worked on a similar implementation before. I will try and share some working code asap.

Are you saying that you want to list all tweets of a Twitter account plus the tweets of all his friends?

If so, I think that you would need to call twitter_fetch_timeline('myuser') and then get the list of friends of that user (which needs OAuth authentication) and finally loop over them fetching their timeline.

Yeah just looking for a something that shows a user what they would see if they were looking at their own twitter account page.

This is out of scope for this module. Reopen if there is a patch to review.
