Nothing like being egocentric so here’s what you can do to add latest tweets of a particular user to your site through mootools. This class totally forked from a post by AppDen (Scott Kyle) so feel free to give him some love, he deserves it for being such a bright spark. You can also “play” with this live on JSFiddle

Request.twitterAPI = new Class({
    // return json data with latest tweets form a particular user
    Extends: Request.JSONP,
    options: {
        target: $empty(),
        tweetBits: {
            textClass: "tweetBody",
            dateClass: "tweetDate"
        },
        maxTweets: 4,
        autoLink: true,
        url: "http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/{user}.json"
    },
    initialize: function(user, options) {
        this.parent(options);
        this.options.url = this.options.url.substitute({user: user});
        this.element = document.id(this.options.target);
        if (!this.element)
            return;

        this.element.set("html", "Loading tweets...");
    },
    success: function(data, script) {
        this.element.empty();
        this.parent(data, script);
    },
    showPost: function(post) {
        var creationDate = Date.parse(post.created_at).format("%x %X");
        new Element("div", {
            "class": this.options.tweetBits.textClass,
            "html": this.options.autoLink ? this.linkify(post.text) : post.text
        }).adopt(new Element("div", {
            "class": this.options.tweetBits.dateClass,
            "html": creationDate // + " via " + post.source.replace("\\",'')
        })).inject(this.element);
    },
    addPosts: function(response) {
        if (!response.length || !this.element)
            return;

        response.each(function(post, i) {
            if (i < this.options.maxTweets)
                this.showPost(post);
        }.bind(this));
    },
    linkify: function(text){
        // modified from TwitterGitter by David Walsh (davidwalsh.name)
        // courtesy of Jeremy Parrish (rrish.org)
        return text.replace(/(https?:\/\/[\w\-:;?&=+.%#\/]+)/gi, '$1')
            .replace(/(^|\W)@(\w+)/g, '$1@$2')
            .replace(/(^|\W)#(\w+)/g, '$1#$2');
    }
});

// create an instance
new Request.twitterAPI("D_mitar", {
    target: "myTweets", // target element to 'host' the tweets
    onComplete: function(data) {
        this.addPosts(data); // add all posts to element.
    }
}).send();

Additionally, you can style the tweets by using 2 classes for the element:

div.tweetBody {
    line-height: 1.1;
    font-family: arial;
    font-size: 12px;
    margin-bottom: 10px;
}

div.tweetDate {
    font-size: 10px;
    color: #500;
    text-align: center;
    padding-top: 4px;
}

That’s it, it’s that simple. Happy tweeting.
