I’m not aware of any limitations of this kind.

Can we use Twitter for educational activities?

You’re right about the initialization, it’s perfectly correct as it stands.
The thing is, I tried the test-method from the usage example: $.twitter.test(printSuccess);
and it didn’t work, so I had a look at the code, made the two changes, and then it worked. I think the problem was when you do $.each(options,.. and options is undefined. (Which it is in the usage example) jQuery then tries to do options.length and you have a problem.

I just put in an if(options)… and then it worked.

I’m still not testing this to verify what I’m saying here, but I’m pretty sure I’m right

@Karl It’s great if it helps. The coma should really be a coma on line 146, it’s a simple initialization of two variables using one var statement :

var a = [], b = {};

If the coma is replaced by a semicolon b becomes a global variable.

Could you take time to tell me what problem you noticed in line 151 ?

Thanks a lot for the plugin, it’s just what I needed .

However I had to fix it a little bit to make it work. There seems to be a comma instead of a semi-colon on line 146. And also on line 151 there is a problem if the options parameter isn’t set.

Just wanted to let you know. Thanks again!
