Does any Twitter widget work?
At this time, no. I believe Duane addressed it in the forum and it had something to do with changes to Twitter itself from connections from 3rd party apps, like the Twitter Widget.
twitter used to have an open api where anybody could pull tweets via rss.... likely, all the widgets used that.
a few months ago, twitter shut that down, now, you have to sign up as a developer, and get an access key, and use that to pull, I don't recall whether there's limits on how many you can get, costs, etc.
I did it myself to pipe a few twitter accounts into my rss reader.
I was just checking again to see if the chumbysphere has developed anything new Twitter related.
No - Twitter has basically killed apps like ours.
While we could get a developer key, they cap the number of requests such that we could not properly service all of the Twitter clients running on all the devices.
Users could create their own RSS feeds and use an RSS reader perhaps... e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXLYIw-IU8I
