I have created a simple twitter client as an application plugin for Plex. The alpha version of the plugin allows you to view your twitter timelines and also post new tweets. In addition if a tweet is a twitpic then selecting the tweet will load the picture. Attached are some screenshots of the plugin as well as the zip file to download. To install unzip and place the twitter.bundle in your library/application support/plex media server/plug-ins folder.

nice one!  
  
and for those of you who were wondering like me:  
  
unzip the downloaded file  
  
place the file twitter.bundle in the plugins folder of plex media server,  
  
place the folder “twitter” in the plugins folder of plex.

Hey! Nice one, you could use another viewtype for your DirectoryItem and display the tweets in the summary field so that you can display all the 140 characters. Try an Infolist instead of a List or a MediaPreview   
  
  
  
dir=MediaContainer(viewgroup=‘InfoList’)
