A simple news bar showing messages from Twitter

I tried to read Twitter API but I'm a newbie and I found it really difficult. What I'd like to acheive is "simple": a news bar to add on my site showing messages I post on my Twitter account, with the date I posted them, like: "08/26 Text | 08/25 Text" and so on. The default ones are too big and with too many informations, I just ne开发者_如何学编程ed a very simple text-only one. Can someone please help?

Something simple like this can probably be done more easily by using the users timeline feed, such as http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=username

I have a super simple example that uses the following and displays it using an AJAX news-scroller type effect over on GitHub. Feel free to use it and modify it as you see fit.

I think you may be looking for this effect
