Twitter web part for SharePoint

I love Twitter. I started using it a couple of weeks ago and I am starting to get hooked on it.
Of course I also love SharePoint, so what would be better then to combine the two by having a Twitter web part that displays the tweets in your public timeline in your SharePoint environment.
Aidan Garnish has build the web part and blogged about it. The blog and the download of the web part can be found here.

I installed the web part and it works like a charm.

I was inspired by the SharePoint - Twitter connection, and have put together a SharePoint Twitter Search Webpart, that is available for download on my blog:

The webpart doesn't require credentials, and has search features that let you view by keywords, from user, to user, about user, hashtag, and querystring.

Cheers!
