Answer 2

Yes, it's possible. You can use Twitter Kit to embed things if you're using iOS (or Android for that matter). Check out the documentation over a Twitter.

I'm not sure what you mean about not embedding a user time line, since you're then linking to a twitter account which can be embedded as a user timeline.

So, if you want to embed @BreakingNews you could do:

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <TwitterKit/TwitterKit.h>

@interface FABUserTimelineViewController : TWTRTimelineViewController
@end

// FABUserTimelineViewController.m
#import "FABUserTimelineViewController.h"
#import <TwitterKit/TwitterKit.h>
@implementation FABUserTimelineViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad {
  [super viewDidLoad];

  [[Twitter sharedInstance] logInGuestWithCompletion:^(TWTRGuestSession *guestSession, NSError *error) {
    if (guestSession) {
      TWTRAPIClient *APIClient = [[Twitter sharedInstance] APIClient];
      TWTRUserTimelineDataSource *userTimelineDataSource = [[TWTRUserTimelineDataSource alloc] initWithScreenName:@"BreakingNews" APIClient:APIClient];
      self.dataSource = userTimelineDataSource;
    } else {
      NSLog(@"error: %@", [error localizedDescription]);
    }
  }];
}

@end
