Twitter allows users to embed a widget on their website that shows a users recent tweets or the tweets of a particular hashtag. Notice on the left hand side of this blog is a list of the recent tweets from @alicekeeler. On my classroom website I have a widget on the side to display tweets that utilize the class hashtag.
