The next release of the 140dev Twitter framework will introduce a set of tweet display themes. There will just be 4 at first, but I intend to have about a dozen by the following version. I know people love pre-built themes. Refined Business Colorful Minimalist

Free open source code for Twitter API programming with PHP and MySQL
This is a great starting point for custom Twitter applications. The plugin architecture makes it easy to extend.
I’ve been making a lot of changes in the 140dev code as a result of my son’s testing. It is great to get someone who isn’t an experienced PHP coder to test this. He blocks on things I’d just write around. I modified the scripts in the Twitter database server module to eliminate the need […]
