I'm developing a Asp.Net website and I need to display the four most recent tweets from a group of users (around ten) that will be set in the admin area of the website. I know twitter has an API, but I don't know where to start. Any help would be really appreciated.

A: 

There's a wrapper-type API called Yedda that's ridiculously easy to use. I got it working in just a few minutes, and it's pretty self-explanatory.

Now that I look at it more closely, it may not be clear how to do exactly what you're trying to do. You may need to try a few different things, and maybe create a new Twitter user that follows these accounts, in order to make it happen.

Several .NET Libraries that interface with the Twitter API

Check out the WCF REST Starter Kit doc. Here's a sample from the page:

HttpClient http = new HttpClient("http://twitter.com/statuses/");
http.TransportSettings.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("{username}", "{password}");
HttpResponseMessage resp = http.Get("friends_timeline.xml");
resp.EnsureStatusIsSuccessful();
ProcessStatuses(resp.Content.ReadAsStream());

Also download the kit from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/cc950529.aspx.
