Each block is highly configurable in the UI and custom CSS styling.
This module requires:
- The jquery.twitter.search.js plugin.
- The twitteroauth library
- You own Twitter application
- libraries
Installation:

- Install libraries.
- Download the jquery.twitter.search.js plugin. Create the folder sites/all/libraries/jquery_twitter_search and add jquery.twitter.search.js to the newly created folder
- Download the twitteroauth library and copy it to the libraries folder so the path looks like libraries/twitteroauth/twitteroauth/twitteroauth.php
