Using Twitter

Is there a way to create a page that displays a twitter List that I have created, where the tweets of the people in my list are shown as well as their avatar? Id like to have multiple menu items that displays the name of different Lists, then when chosen the user is reading the tweets of that list. appreciate any help..

Try this... use the browser on whatever device you have. Go to Twitter and find the stream of individual users. You can probably use a CustomURL screen for each person. Your menu could show a list of folks, tapping each menu item could lead to their Twitter feed. Twitter should have a 'mobilized version' of each persons timeline. Your devices browser should show you the URL of the mobile version of the feed you are looking at.

I've tried this but it only will show in standard version, not mobile. I have a few different twitter apps that display the lists nicely but I guess they have there own API for that. Any other suggestions? Is there an easy way to apply the right API without knowing too much code? Could it be as simple as adding a folder with the code already done or is that wishful thinking :)

It's not wishful thinking, but may be too ambitious (you mentioned not-too-much-code). Does Twitter offer an RSS feed for each user? Adding a folder with the code already done is a great idea but I'm not sure where that folder would come from. I can imagine something like... a) Dragging a folder into your project containing a view and the necessary display logic b) Making some changes to the buzztouch navigation logic to load your screen when a certain type of menu item was clicked (easy). If you find a folder of Twitter API stuff, let us know, it may be able to help lots of folks.
