How can I get twitter running on my local server?
Solution
You should check out: StatusNet. It is an open source micro blogging platform. From their site, you can download the source and deploy it on your own server. Once you have it installed you can customize it to your liking.
Problem
I want to put the Twitter service on my server and customize it for my purpose. I have no idea how it works. My goal is to communicate to your own Twitter server rather than the original twitter server and serve my purpose.
