how can i add my friends to my html twitter badge?
we're trying to tweak twitter for our church. we don't use the main account for much but we'd like to be able to display what members/friends are doing on our blog and possibly website.
i've used the "flash badge with friends" but don't really like the look and layout for the blog. i'd like to use the HTML version but also include the messages friends send. is there a way to customize the HTML badge to include messages from friends?

Inappropriate?Hi. In the code you get for the html badge, just replace user_timeline with friends_timeline. That should do it, I think.

Inappropriate?that worked - except it shows the entire feed now. my callback and count is set to: callback=twitterCallback2&count=5 -
Inappropriate?Yeah, I see what you mean. I'm not sure why changing the count doesn't adjust the number. Anyone else know?

Inappropriate?See HTML Twitter Badge to Display "With Friends" Timeline
Summary of enhancements made to original script:
1. changes the user_timeline to friends_timeline
2. computes relative time
3. adds the name of the Twitter friends who sent each tweet
4. uses twitterCallback instead of twitterCallback2
I’m happy

Inappropriate?that seemed to work - but not quite the formating i wanted :-( (being picky)
what's the difference between callback and callback2.
i tried changing the original script:
http://twitter.com/statuses/friends_t..." type="text/javascript
and replaced callback2 with callback and then changing the count number but that came back with no returns
I’m undecided

Inappropriate?In the script that I posted on the FanWiki, the twitterCallback function is defined in the script.
You see it in the section of the code that starts with:
function twitterCallback(obj)
If your own script is anything like mine, then perhaps you've got the twitterCallback2 function defined as well.
If that's the case, you'll need to change twitterCallback2 to twitterCallback in two different places:
a) the function definition
b) in http://twitter.com/statuses/friends_t...
I’m not sure if I explained it clearly enough.
