  1. Nice idea for a plugin!
    I started to write one with Widget, Shortcode and Options page but will have to take on it later on…

  2. while I can’t offer a simple plugin solution right offhand it’d be really simple to build the functionality with twitter.js and jQuery cycle with minimal knowledge of js/jQuery.
