I need some kind of Twitter feed functionality that allows people to post/reply to tweets from the website and not from the Twitter site. Is this possible? If so, what would be the best way to go about this? Does something like this already exist?
Twitter offers #Anywhere, and that sounds like what you are looking for. Essentially, this product lets you integrate Twitter features into your site using snippets of javascript. Of particular interest to you may be the TweetBox.
Additionally, jTweetsAnywhere, a jQuery Twitter widget, supports #Anywhere functionality.
If you use Wordpress ,take a look at Tweeter Tools plugin
If you use Drupal you can take a look at the twitter module or twitter #anywhere module.

Ive searched through stack, but answers are dated. I was wondering if anyone knows what it is to crawl a topic like security. How do I do this by using Twitter? Do I just follow people who tweet about this topic, re-tweet and tweet new things, or is there an exact way of doing this? I then need to make statistical analysis on the data I gather.
You can use Puppeteer to crawl twitter data.
Checkout their github repository here.
This is a repository that crawls twitter data using Puppeteer .
How about using twitter search api (https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/get/search/tweets)
You need to create an app first(or better say register an app) on dev.twitter.com and use search api to query for tweets that contain security (assuming I understood your crawling in the right way). Once you have your tweets you can do statistical analysis on the gathered data.
I use twitteR package on R to crawl twitter data (https://github.com/geoffjentry/twitteR) . It includes simple and useful functions to get twitter data.
I am trying to get twitter feeds in to my shopify site. I want to get the feeds and style them as I want and thus cant use a app.
I know how to do it using PHP but can not use that code in shopify and looking for a way I can use OAuth in shopify and get the feeds. I tried the shopify docs but without an example its kinda hard to actually get my head around it.
http://docs.shopify.com/api/tutorials/oauth
Thats the link I am using as a guide. If anyone can direct me to an example which might be similar that would be awesome. (google didnt seem to be that helpful this time either)
Cheers
I know you said you didn't want to use an app, but can I suggest taking a look at Twitify? You can use custom CSS to style your tweets. Also see discussions about Twitify here and here.
Twitter changed their display guidelines and policies on embedding of tweets on websites in June 2013. One of the themes I used for a client earlier in the year had custom styling of tweets, and they have now changed it to use the official Twitter widget to meet the new guidelines. In fact, the images on the Shopify theme store show how it used to look before Twitter changed things:
And after:
I think using an app like Twitify would be the easiest way to deal with these changes to embedding tweets.
Thanx for the suggestion. I did take a look at that before I posted this question. This is a project for a client and I dont think getting a plug in is a viable option. Anyways I found a work around.
Hosted the file on a server and then accessed it. So that resolved the problem. :)
I used node.js to write the script and get the posts as required.
Cheers.
you can use the app for that Twitify https://apps.shopify.com/twitify or you can Embed a Twitter feed in your online store
Go to your Twitter settings.
Click Widgets to open the widgets menu.
Create a new widget, following Twitter's instructions.
Copy the embed code.
I have some lists of twitter accounts that I would like to recommend on my website (e.g. follow these great crafting bloggers). If I have the twitter ID for each of these people, is it possible to create a list of items that show their twitter info (pic, number of tweets/followers, etc.) as well as controls that allow the user to follow each (or multiple) twitter account? I'd like to be able to do it dynamically based on the list of accounts so that I can update the list and not have to redesign the page. I feel like I've seen this around the web before, but I don't see any widgets for doing it and I'm wondering how it's done.
(I would like to use javascript/jquery, but am pretty flexible here)
Thanks!

I would first look at the Twitter API. You will find more information on how Twitter works, and you may find information applicable to what you want to accomplish on your website. It's a start, and there's no better place to start than the source itself.
I need to embed a specific user's recent tweets onto the home page of a website. The website is built in ASP.NET.
I've looked at the Twitter REST API and have tried using the user_timeline. It works but does not include mentions for the user. I want to include mentions but the only way to do it seems to be by using APIs that require authentication. I would prefer not to use authentication as it seems it would start to make things more complicated. I also do not want to get the current user to authenticate.
What is the best way to achieve this?
Use the GET search API instead. Search for statuses containing the user's #username, but in this case it will not return mentions from private/locked accounts since there's no authentication.
For example, if you want to search mentions for #stackexchange, call this.
GET http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=#stackexchange
You could do a search for #username using the REST Search api. There's a good chance that would work :)
How can you tweet from a website to twitter. I need to build a comment box that posts questions to twitter?
Thanks,

You'll need to use their API http://apiwiki.twitter.com/w/page/22554648/FrontPage
The Twitter Developer Center and the Twitter API wiki would be a good place to start.
There are libraries for plenty of programming languages already that will make development easier. Find them in the wiki.
