Went at it again with my cron-powered PHP jobs, this time for putting my Twitter timeline on my homepage. Complete with little bird.

This is replacing the Friendfeed blog+twitter entries that appeared previously because:

1. I love playing with new APIs. The T one will be my third personal API integration. Did FF and Flickr prior.
2. I’ll tweet the better blog entries, so I don’t need a merged blog+twitter feed. Just Twitter is fine.
3. FF is a second-hand tweet, why not get it first-hand?
4. FF has great features, but I feel closer to T.  When I had FF on a bunch of different social services it was more worthwhile for the merging of the feed.  But I’ve since whittled it way down.

My PHP cron job is aided by TwitterLibPHP by Justin Poliey.
