so basically I'm trying to display the latest tweets from 5-10 different sources/twitter accounts in a new application I'm trying to make.

Similarly the way tweetro/metrotwit retrieve and display tweets in the application. But on a much smaller scale.

Any ideas on how this could be done?

Would be much appreciated.

This question is much too broad. Try finding a specific portion of it and asking a question about that. –  mydogisbox Aug 29 '12 at 21:02
Well I just want to find out out I can embed user tweets into an application? You have any idea on what I need to be targeting my research towards? –  AlexDuncan Aug 29 '12 at 21:03
Are you having trouble retrieving the tweets? Displaying them? What language? –  mydogisbox Aug 29 '12 at 21:07
No no, I'm trying to create an application that displays the latest tweets from a pre-defined set of users, maybe 4-5 accounts. –  AlexDuncan Aug 29 '12 at 21:09
But what part don't you know how to do? –  mydogisbox Aug 29 '12 at 21:11

Simply use the Twitter API to send a Web Service Request accessing those specific tweets in a data friendly format like XML or text. Then simply bind that data to a ListView or whatever pleases you.
