New Module: Twit-ee
George Ornbo released a new ExpressionEngine module today called Twit-ee.
Twit-ee fetches data from the Twitter API and allows you to display it in your ExpressionEngine templates. A variety of tags are available allowing you to show your own tweets, your friends tweets and more.
You can get your own timeline, the public timeline, replies to you, your favorites, your friends and your followers. With all of those options, you should be able to find what you need in this module.
I downloaded, installed and tested this module and it works as expected.

How does this compare to Twitter Timeline from Derek Jones? Better? About the same?

Twitter Timeline is pretty seamless, logical and a solution that ‘just works’ as needed. Although I value developers’ efforts to make things better, I don’t think another Twitter plugin was needed. But hey, some people like a choice even when there is a solid solution already in place… and I can’t fault anyone for that.

@Evan - Yeah, I’m using Twitter Timeline on a site and it seems to work perfectly for what I needed.

Twitter Timeline and Twit-ee are actually very, very different. Read through the documentation and you’ll see that Twit-ee has many more methods available (almost mirroring basic Twitter API methods) than does Twitter Timeline.
I think both are needed. Twitter Timeline for simple implementations and Twit-ee for more complex implementations.

Thanks Ryan. I guess the docs would have been a good place to start. Looks like it does have quite a lot of nice features.
