twitterCallback2 for getting tweets to be embedded on your site

twitter.js

function twitterCallback2(twitters) {
  var statusHTML = [];
  for (var i=0; i<twitters.length; i++){
    var username = twitters[i].user.screen_name;
    var status = twitters[i].text.replace(/((https?|s?ftp|ssh)\:\/\/[^"\s\<\>]*[^.,;'">\:\s\<\>\)\]\!])/g, function(url) {

    });

  } else if(delta < 120) {
    return 'about a minute ago';
  } else if(delta < (60*60)) {

  } else if(delta < (120*60)) {

  } else if(delta < (24*60*60)) {
    return 'about ' + (parseInt(delta / 3600)).toString() + ' hours ago';
  } else if(delta < (48*60*60)) {

If you load this file from your own server rather than from twitter then you can edit this one yourself. There is an inline style rule with font-size:85% which can be changed as well as all the time messages. The relative time values can also be omitted.

Thanks, this was hugely valuable in getting some of our Twitter feeds working again. Twitter decided to delete this (blogger.js) off their servers.
