The "Current" width & height are locked into being proportional to the lowest setting of either one. It is box, no matter what.

I'm at a conference that has a twitter hash tag. How can I build a mashup of my conference notes along with the tweets for a specified hash tag for a given start date timestamp and end timestamp (to coincide with a specific presentatino)?

@guyknur the extension doesn't support twitter search, but I put together a simple example in my sandbox how to query twitter directly and show results for it in a wiki page. see http://developer.mindtouch.com/User:SteveB/Sandbox/Twitter_Search
