I have built many applications that consume the Twitter API using Javascript or Python (whichever you are more comfortable with).  Take advantage of all the data waiting to be consumed using JavaScript or Python.  The Twitter API also provides secure registration & login to give your users confidence in your applications & avoid recreating the wheel with user login.
