i have added some lines (marked by //new) that should accomplish what you want.
function twitterCallback2(obj) {
var twitters = obj;
var statusHTML = "";
var username = "";
var name = ""; //new
var bg_arr = []; //new
bg_arr.push("#ddd"); //new
bg_arr.push("#bbb"); //new
for (var i=0; i<twitters.length; i++){
var this_bg_color = bg_arr[i % 2]; //new
username = twitters[i].user.screen_name
name = twitters[i].user.name //new
statusHTML += ('<li><span style="background:' +
this_bg_color + ';">'+ name + ' said: ' + twitters[i].text+'</span>
<a
target="_blank" style="font-size:85%" href="http://
twitter.com/'+username+'/statuses/'+twitters[i].id+'">'+relative_time
(twitters[i].created_at)+'</a></li>') //new
}
document.getElementById('twitter_update_list').innerHTML =
statusHTML;
}
