my question may seem a bit complicated but let me clarify. Using Twitter's Api system, I was able to get the 20 most recent tweets of a particular user. However, this isn't really exactly what I wanted. As I am making an iPhone application, it would seem more interesting for the user to see the most recent tweets from other people he follows than tweets he himself has composed. So, is there anyway to get the 20 most recent tweets from users that a particular person follows? If the question is not clear enough please let me know so I can clarify it, thanks :)

You can get up to 800 tweets from the user's followers
https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/home_timeline.json
For example, if you want 20 tweets, but no replies, use
https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/home_timeline.json?count=20&exclude_replies=true

Try getting the ids of the followers https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/get/followers/ids Should be something like... /followers/ids.json?screen_name=xxx or possibly /followers/ids.json?user_id=xxx
Then, get the tweets from those ids https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/get/statuses/user_timeline
/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=twitterapi&count=20
