    This post will walk you through how to add twitter stream to your ASP.NET MVC Website.

    First go to  http://twitter.com/widgets, then in left side bar under "Widgets for..." select "My Website"

    From the widgets page, choose "Profile Widget" -

    You should end up in a "Customize your Profile Widget" page -

    1. In the settings tab enter your twitter username.
    2. In the preferences tab choose your preferences ideally the number of tweets can be adjusted here.
    3. From the Appearance tab choose the colors of your widget.
    4. From the Dimensions tab choose your Dimensions of the widget.

    Once you are done, hit finish and grab code.

    Copy the script in the textbox.

    Now to integrate it to your ASP.NET MVC Website, Add new MVC Partial View and paste the code from the above step in to your partial view.

    Then simply call Html.RenderPartial and render the Partial View where ever you want.

    Hope this helped,

    Cheers,
