Below are 10 awesome jQuery tutorials will allow you to insert very interesting effects and help you to unite of one of the most popular social media networks : Twitter, in to your website.

Demo

In this tutorial we are going to create a pure jQuery & CSS twitter ticker which utilizes Twitter’s Search API. It will show your or your friends’ latest tweets, and will not require any server side code or databases. As a result, the ticker will be easily included into any web page and easily modified to your likings.

Demo

There are stacks of plugins out there that allow you to display your latest tweets on your website or blog. However sometimes, all you want is to quickly and simply display your latest Twitter updates, without wrestling with preset styling, or lengthly settings.

Demo

Twitters new search feature is great for finding interesting people and topics to follow. So i wrote a script to get search results from twitter and display them on your site. This could be integrated into an existing application or used standalone to follow a particular topic or keyword on twitter,

Demo

Majority of online services allow you to access some of their data through public API methods. Unfortunately most of the data formats served by these APIs can only be accessed using server side code. This is mainly due to JavaScript’s same origin policy, which restrict it from loading data from remote sites.

Demo

Today, I will make an entry to show you how to create a login drop down with Twitter style using jQuery. It’s really easy, it’ll help you save the space of your webpage and make visitors feel comfortable by the awesome toggle login form.

Demo

Time for another relatively simple jQuery tutorial, just like my previous jQuery quickie. At work, I’m currently working with Silverlight and implemented unlimited scroll. This is a great technique that could be used on loads of websites. Instead of the regular pagination, where the user has to click to see the next page, unlimited scroll automatically loads the next page when the user is at the bottom.

Demo

Both Twitter and the Apple App Store use a brilliant technique for loading more information; you click the link and fresh items magically appear on the screen. This tutorial teaches you to use AJAX, CSS, Javascript, JSON, PHP, and HTML to create that magic. This tutorial will also feature both jQuery and MooTools versions of the script.

Details

In this tutorial, we will look at using jQuery to call Twitterís API and then use the results to create a widget for a blog or personal website that shows what hours during the day we tweet at the most.

Details

This tutorial illustrates a very simple way to work with the Twitter API in order to implement a search in the Twitter public timeline and display search results with an animated stream of messages (tweets).

Demo

This tutorial shows a smarter way of dispalying login box in your web application. It is just similar to Twitter login box.

Conclussion

I hope you all love this collection If you have any sugestion or any thinks else, please feel free to say it!
Thanks…
