You can do it on the server side, depends on what programming language (PHP you can use cURL or fopen())
or you can use client side javascript to display updates from twitter. For example:

put twitter.js in your website, and call it from the page you want it to be displayed.

Good question and great idea, here is your answer.
1. Logon to Twitter
2. Follow @BodyByChocolate (Well, I guess this one isn’t necessary but it is a really REALLY good idea.)
3. Scroll to the bottom of the page and choose “APPS”
4. Seclet “WIDGETS” from the options provided
HOT TIP: I also recommend these third party apps from that same page on Twitter:
* Twitteriffic
* TWhirl
* TweetDeck
* Google Desktop
5. Choose the platform you would like to work with.
* If you have a blog platform then follow that trail.
* Choose other to get the code for your own website.
6. From here follow whichever path to your desired result that makes sense for you. Don’t miss the “continue” button at the bottom as that will provide you with more options to consider adding to your website.
I hope the above helps you to reach your goals of adding a cool Twitter widget to your website. Here is how the results look on my own website.
