We are pulling in the @jaxdotcom twitter feed at jacksonville.com (Florida Times-Union); our purpose in this case is simply to announce and publicize the existence of the feed so Twitter users can choose to subscribe. See http://www.jacksonville.com/interact and look at the tweets box, fairly well downpage. Click the "more" link to see the paginated full feed. In our case, this is being done with Drupal, FeedAPI, a custom content type, a custom View, a simple @username filter, and a bit of theming work. Took about an hour to do the whole thing.
