I've run into a lot of apprehension among my clients and I'm always on the lookout for good examples of it in action to show them! Thanks!

About your points: 1) you can do this with isontwitter.com: simply create a twitter account with the users you want to place in one stream and then include this as a menu item within isontwitter (check out the "sitetweet employees " on http://mybusiness.isontwitter.com/sitetweet ) 2) that's true - being able to widgitize this information can be very valuable. I am going to study the other suggestion you placed. Cheers. Hello Mickey – thanks for the reply. About your points:

A few problems: 1 -- It lists users on the side, but doesn't combine all tweets into one stream. 2 -- You can't embed it on your site; you have to link to theirs. If I'm mistaken about either of those, please let me know. If not, then I think <a href="http://kentbrewster.com/twitterati/" rel="nofollow">Ken Brewster's script</a> remains a better solution. I think feel like there's probably something a little more slick and intuitive out there, but I haven't found it...

WordPress has RSS feeds for comments, so I simply pointed those comment feeds at this Twitter account using TwitterFeed, and we can just follow that account to see any new comments that come in. I pre-moderate all comments on the blog anyhow (so I already know what's there), but for the rest of the staff it's another way to keep them connected with what's going on in the blogs.
