Sounds interesting, although there are so many of them already! Twitter reader is exactly what’s needed now. I managed to find the one I like most – http://www.litefeed.com. What do you think?

Very nice code! Works very clear and easy =) but I also got a question.. Im looking for a function to call the next page with search results as described in twitter API. Now I got something like this..

function more_timeline($format=’xml’, $count=20) {
$request = ‘http://twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline.'.$format.'?page='.$my_page.'&max_id='.$my_max_id.'';
//$postargs = “count=$count”;
return $this->process($request);
}

How can I use this function from my client website and give the variables $my_page and $my_max_id to specify the ‘next’ page? I hope you can help me out! Thanks!

Thanx for sharing this code..
But I have one problem. Using the friends_timeline() from Twitter class, when the Ajax update called, it still returned the latest friend update even if it has already displayed before.

I think you should add a method to check wether the latest friend tweet is already displayed or not.

Hi John, The json_decode function comes with the PHP installation in webserver. Please check the PHP version in your webhosting or in your machine if you running locally. Check the manual of json_decode here http://us.php.net/json_decode.
