This project aims to solve a common problem of displaying a twitter widget for a specified username, that has been noted in various places, but never properly developed.
The module (currently Drupal 7 only, but could easily be backported) implements a custom field formatter that takes the contents of a generic Text Field, attached to a Node, and treats it like a Twitter Username. It then provides a default template file (twitter-widget.tpl.php) That can be overridden in your module, with the code generated after you configure a Twitter Profile Widget and click "Finish & Grab code" button at Twitter.com.
