I am building a small website for myself, and few members of a clothes user group of mine. What I would like to do is feed the twitter feeds of my favorite designers and stores to a site, very similar to DVLPRS.com
I'm not sure if it is as simple as using rss feeds, or if it is a plugin the pulls the information from my favorite twitters.
Heres the site ot use Twitter widgets
http://twitter.com/about/resources/widgets
The site says
Widgets let you display Twitter updates on your website or social network page
So this is probably what you want for your website.

I am new to Google Analytics. Basically, I want to track the number of tweets Rbloggers make per day and its incoming traffic. So, I believe I need to track the following website:
https://twitter.com/Rbloggers
However, when I try to add the Google Analytics tracking code to the web source by selecting "Tools > View Source", I found out that I could not add tracking code to the web source. I have no idea why, because I saw people in youtube videos just add the tracking code with ease.
Then, I observed that many video tutorials and websites talk about adding tracking code to "YOUR" website not a public social media website. Does it mean there is no way I can use Google Analytics to track this site, since this is not "MY" website
https://twitter.com/Rbloggers ?
No, there's no way for you to add GA code to a site you don't own (i.e., have access to the server on which the site is hosted). If you want to know how many visits are coming from the links you post, you can look in the Acquisition -> Social -> Overview reports. You can also add campaign codes to the links you tweet - you can find more info here: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1033863?hl=en
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 approve/reject tweets from my Twitter feed, and display on our website. Any websites out there that will provide this functionality?
I've looked into TidyTweet.com, but I can't tell if they support the kind of "feed" we have (it's actually a json search, not an RSS feed).
For example, this is our "feed":
http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=Downtown+Chicago
Twitterfeed already provides an interface for that. Click on edit->advanced you should see filter tweets.
Another alternative is filtering from the feed itself, you can do this from Yahoo Pipes
I'm interested in building a simple demo and need a list of top twitter users. Is there a web site that offers a JSON or RSS feed (or otherwise easily parseable list) of the top 1000 twitter users by number of followers. Is there a web site that offers something like this? (I know I can scrape one of the many sites like Twitaholic but I'd rather not bother with that if there is an easier alternative.)
Twitter Counter , they also have a nice REST api that I like. Lady Gaga is #1 of course.
Edit based on comment
Here is a Yahoo Pipe for Top5 which can probably be edited for more

I'd like to offer users the ability to post images / links to articles from my web application to Facebook, Twitter, Buzz and any other social network.
A perfect example of the functionality I'm trying to replicate is mashable.com ... where each social network is represented by an icon that a) shows the number of shares AND b) allows users to click on it to post to that specific network.
Don't know if it matters ... but the site is built using RoR.
Thanks
Here are the links for adding those social media buttons to your site:

I would first study the available APIs/Webservice documentations of Facebook, Twitter etc. You will learn if and how your features could be implemented. After that you have to write clients for each service. It doesn't matter if you are using Rails or another framework, Ruby or another language. It's all about HTTP requests/responses (or SOAP). There's also a good chance that somebody has already written a library, plugin or gem for your tasks.
