Twitter Tab

Oh no... It's Twitter tab on Facebook page. Is it quite similar to the Twitter experience?
The Twitter tab will be updated automatically as your Twitter profile send new tweets. It's not only about showing off your tweets. The visitors stop by on your Twitter tab have the capability of following you on Twitter from there and further they can interact with your tweets by retweeting and/or favoriting them too.
The Twitter tab is capable of inheriting the colors of your Twitter profile. Would you be delighted if it can use the same background image being used in your Twitter account? Yes, it can.
When we talk about displaying tweets, we can't ignore @Mentions or @Replies. Instead of relevant updates, you might be communicating with interested tweeps on Twitter or replying to their tweets too. Would you mind showing them at Twitter tab? Ugh... I don't think it's a good idea as Twitter tab is all about promoting your Twitter profile. No problemo! You can filter unwanted @Mentions and display only relevant tweets that matters by just tweaking a setting.
If you don't like to show all the recent tweets as on Twitter profile, you can be specific. Simply you can add search terms with and Twitter tab will display tweets match with your terms ignoring rest of tweets.
