However, I think there are some sites on the web that will let you hop in a time machine and exceed Twitter's thresholds. One is snapbird.org To search for a specific subject, say you want to find recent tweets with the word 'Eagles' in it, the string would look like this: http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=%40Eagles Details about the search api are at: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/using-search Good luck! Hi Kristen,

From what I’ve read and know about Twitter’s API, there is no way to go back more than 1 week or x number of Tweets using Twitter’s own API. However, I think there are some sites on the web that will let you hop in a time machine and exceed Twitter’s thresholds. One is snapbird.org

To search for a specific subject, say you want to find recent tweets with the word ‘Eagles’ in it, the string would look like this:
http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=%40Eagles

Good luck!

I am new to using XML code though. Can you explain what I need to do to get the rest of a twitter user's tweets? In other words, how can I go back more than a week? Also, how would I search for a subject on Twitter (if I don't want to look up tweets from one user)? Thanks again! THanks for this code. I am new to using XML code though.

I like the way it looks too, but it wasn't very easy to configure. For my intro slides I use a plugin that I got from, http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle/. I'm very happy with the plugin, it works, which is nice and it was relatively easy to configure. Thanks for the comment. @Selby, I’m using the Thesis theme.
