Wordpress plugin for specific tweets
I will need to receive tweets from my Twitter account on my Wordpress site. Okay, the basics I could do, but there is one special need. I will only need to receive certain tweets. Tweets that have #hashstag, for example, only tweets with hashtag #myss will show up on my wordpress site.
Is there a ready-made plugin for this? I've been googlein for hours but only found basic / normal Twitter plugins.
Also I would need to adjust the style so that it looks the same as my current site.
Hooray!

The twitter API is pretty good at this.
You can use the Twitter search API to build the url, for example:
http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=from:yourusername+AND+#hashtag
You can easily write javascript to parse this.
$.getJSON('http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=from:yourusername+AND+#hashtag&callback=?', function(data){
$.each(data, function(index, item){
$('#twitter').append('<div class="tweet"><p>' + item.text.linkify() + '</p><p>' + relative_time(item.created_at) + '</p></div>');
});
});
You could easily package this into a wordpress plugin.

Go to http://search.twitter.com/ and enter your desired hashtag. Then click Submit For This Request in the upper right corner to get the URL. Then add a regular RSS widget to your Wordpress site by adding the URL you got earlier. This should work.

There is a plugin named:
Twitter Hash Tag Widget : A widget to display the latest twitter status updates for a specific hash tag. http://sivel.net/2009/06/twitter-hash-tag-widget/
and
Twitter Tools : Twitter Tools is a plugin that creates complete integration between your WordPress blog and your Twitter account.
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/twitter-tools
and twitter blender : better than Twitter's own widgets. Tweet Blender supports tags and supports multiple authors, lists, hashtags and keywords that are all mixed up. The plugin can only show tweets from one user or a list of users (like all other Twitter plugins do); however, it can also show tweets for a topic, which you can identify via a Twitter hashtag or a keyword. But there is more! It can also display tweets for multiple authors AND multiple lists AND multiple keywords and multiple hashtags, all combined into one stream. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tweet-blender/
Hope some of them help :)
