Hi Hugh,

Yes, your home timeline would consist  of all those you follow and anything 
retweeted by those users. That should fit perfectly for you.

 Heya,
 
 I'm a student who has just started a student news website called

 onhttp://twitter.com/#!/sellyoaknews.
 I was hoping to create localtrendsfrom only the accounts that
 @sellyoaknews follows and was wondering how this would be done?
 
 So for example, I will be able to put on the website the 5 or 10 most
 talked about items from people I only follow. This would have a huge
 number of benefits because it would directly relate to the students we
 follow plus it would mean it wouldn't be susecptible to spam.
 
 If any of you could help point me in the right direction that would be
 great!!
 
 thanks and all the best,
