    Hello all, I am not much of a twitter type. I think I sent two tweets my entire life and it was really just to see what it did…
    I am now trying to add an “Industry News” onto a page and dont even know what tools are at my disposal for doing so.

    Basically I would like to have a section which auto updates a live feed of news related to keyword(s) I can choose.
    It could function like a ticker right to left, or like tweet feeds where the newest tweet pops into the top of the list.

    But I would like that it is minimal in size (showing 3 or 5 newest titles) unless moused over or clicked on which would then display more.
    I can do that myself if need be with jQuery.

    I am hoping that someone here would be nice enough to lead me in the right direction to get started though.

    Anyone?

    Twitter has a straight forward widget - there are also a number of jQuery plugins that query twitter’s api.
