It has been some time since I have written a Venture Blog Post. In recent months setting up Drupal sites with the Twittter Module has been a bit tricky. The Twittter Module is great but for a website that only needs Tweets from one Twitter Account, it is a bit too heavy.
To get around using the Twitter module I would put some custom php code in a block and viola. I approached Oliver Walker, the Ventureweb Drupal Wizard, with the idea of a Simple Twitter module, because the alternative is too much for a simple Drupal site.
Olly worked his coding magic and produced a really lean module for us here at Ventureweb to use. I wanted to release this to the Drupal community but because there is already a Twitter Module there will be a few more hoops to jump though to release it. Drupal does not want any module duplication, as there is already that problem with various slideshow modules.
Here is a link to my posting on Drupal.org in relation to this module: http://drupal.org/node/702984
In the comments on the above link there will be a link to the Simple Tweet Tweet Module.
Enjoy.
