What resolution is your screen? The meebo widget scales strangely with different screen resolutions. I will have to investigate how it looks at popular resolutions.

Screen width vs. widget width may turn out to be the most difficult problem with this design.

With regard to Twitter, last year we had our own custom PHP script that scraped the @thebluealliance account, which seemed to be good enough. Maybe this year we will get a little fancier, but we were generally using it as a "read-only" medium and not responding to anyone who tweeted at us. Twitter has seen a lot of growth in the last year though, so it is likely that significantly more FIRSTers use it now than a year ago.
