Is it possible to use the twitter module to display what followers of an account say?

Basically, I have a twitter account that I only use to follow people on. I use that as a "news" type of thing for the various subjects that are followed. I never post from it. Is it possible to display the tweets from those people I'm following in this module?

Sorry, I'm kind of a Twitter newb so not sure if I'm explaining this correctly.

that is what your twitter search query string is for ..
 
I just popped it in the header template (I know I'm not really supposed to do that because I think it'll revert when I upgrade the software won't it? Not sure what the correct way to do it is).

I put it in after this in the header:

Code: 
<xen:hook name="header">
<div id="header">

This is the amended code I put in:

Code: 
  <!--[if lt IE 9]>
  <div style='border: 1px solid #F7941D; background: #FEEFDA; text-align: center; clear: both; height: 75px; position: relative;'>
    <div style='position: absolute; right: 3px; top: 3px; font-family: courier new; font-weight: bold;'><a href='#' onclick='javascript:this.parentNode.parentNode.style.display="none"; return false;'><img src='http://www.ie6nomore.com/files/theme/ie6nomore-cornerx.jpg' style='border: none;' alt='Close this notice'/></a></div>
    <div style='width: 640px; margin: 0 auto; text-align: left; padding: 0; overflow: hidden; color: black;'>
      <div style='width: 75px; float: left;'><img src='http://www.ie6nomore.com/files/theme/ie6nomore-warning.jpg' alt='Warning!'/></div>
      <div style='width: 275px; float: left; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;'>
        <div style='font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 12px;'>You are using an outdated browser</div>
        <div style='font-size: 12px; margin-top: 6px; line-height: 12px;'>For a better experience using YOUR SITE, please upgrade to a modern web browser such as Google Chrome or the latest Firefox.</div>
      </div>
      <div style='float: left;'><a href='http://www.google.com/chrome' target='_blank'><img src='http://www.ie6nomore.com/files/theme/ie6nomore-chrome.jpg' style='border: none;' alt='Get Google Chrome'/></a></div>
<div style='width: 75px; float: left;'><a href='http://www.firefox.com' target='_blank'><img src='http://www.ie6nomore.com/files/theme/ie6nomore-firefox.jpg' style='border: none;' alt='Get Firefox'/></a></div>
    </div>
  </div>
  <![endif]-->

I changed the first line to IE 9, then took out the IE and Safari DIVs and edited the text a bit so it's personalised it to my site so it doesn't look completely like a banner ad.
The images are a bit outdated as they still have the wrong versions on them :confused:, I might changed the images at a later date , but the users get the idea.

Very cool. Having that coded as as addon would be great if possible (so template reverts aren't an issue)

It's often not an option for people working in offices to just change their browser and most will be stuck on IE 6 or 7.

I realise this, but my audience are gamers on their often tricked out home PCs, so personally I'm not worried about that :)

EDIT: Sorry, thought you were talking to me.

I am a total newb to twitter and I would just like it to search for mentions of the towns and places that are within my covered region I got ti to do a search on one Item but have no Idea how to do multiples

I found this link from within editing the twitter module for XenPorta, I couldn't find what I wanted to do (or otherwise it didn't seem like it), but I think it might be able to help you for what you want to do: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/using-search
 
Ok, finally figured out how to do what I wanted to do. It was a Twitter List. I created a XenPorta 1.5 module and it works great. =)

One thing though, and this is unrelated to the above problem.

I did some customization to my personal custom portal layout and decided I wanted to go back to the default layout I've setup for all of my members. How can I do this? I could just duplicate it, but I'd like to make sure I'm using the layout my members see incase anything odd were to happen.
 
is there a way to make it have no display pic on the front page like there was no pictures in the thread so it used my avatar
