Twitter in the widget dock

The Twitter widget for Yahoo TV Widgets offers a well-designed, fully featured client that lets you post tweets from your TV.

When collapsed, the widget, or snippet in this form, displays the most recent tweet, whether it's from you or someone you follow. These are updated in nearly real time without having to hit a refresh button or take any other actions.

It's unfortunate, though, that you're limited to just the most recent update in this view when the Samsung TV we were using organizes some other snippets, Yahoo's weather and finance ones, into scrollable tabs that show multiple weather or finance updates.
