So I'm going to answer the question about how to embed third party javascript widgets into Splunk.
The first thing you will need to do is convert your dashboard to HTML, http://dev.splunk.com/view/webframework-developapps/SP-CAAAEM2
There are trade offs between using Simple XML and HTML that is covered in the link that you should consider.
Once this is done edit it and then slip in the javascript widget code in the div class dashboard-body section of the HTML document.
For example
<div class="dashboard-body container-fluid main-section-body" data-role="main">
<div class="dashboard-header clearfix">
<h2>Twitter Widget HTML</h2>
</div>
<a class="twitter-timeline" href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/corgi" data-widget-id="*WIDGET-ID*">#corgi Tweets</a>
<script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+"://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs");</script>
</div>
All being well you will end up with something like this.
For your particular use case you might also want to consider pulling the raw twitter events into Splunk first so they can be analysed to your specific needs and then presented on a dashboard.
