What would be the easiest way to create a dynamic timeline ? What I need is a timeline whose "search" can be updated via javascript.
Twitter has embedded timelines, but they need to be created as a widget and then inserted on a page.
I could use some jquery plugin such as Tweet!, but it doesn't respect twitter's new display requirements.

Not exactly a timeline but... you can get a JSON object through this url (for example): http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=searchTerm%20secondSearchTerm If you use this you'll be searching for "searchTerm secondSearchTerm", so replace it with a variable in your javascript.
It has some limitations but I hope it helps. More info here: Twitter Search API.
