I'm a bit new at working with the twitter API, but I think I can
nudge you in the right direction.
"Streaming" means something particular in the twitter API world;
there's a "streaming API" that lets you keep a connection open and
see
tweets in realtime. However, that requires some significant
programming,
and I suspect you don't really mean, or need, that kind of streaming.
It's simpler to just use either a bit of php on the server, or a
bit of javascript in in the page, to request the user's tweets from
twitter and display them in the page. Here are two examples that came
up when I googled on: twitter tweets javascript
