Multiple widgets on the same page are supported.

But there is more! It can also show tweets for multiple authors AND multiple lists AND multiple keywords AND multiple hashtags all blended together into a single stream.

I have a demanding full time job and family with two kids. All of my free time is spent on fun projects like this one. *Note #2: Please don't flame me for bugs.* Twitter is notoriously unstable and has some bugs in the API. On top of it, I use jQuery library that has some bugs in it as well. On top of it you might have other plugins installed that have bugs or introduce conflicts. Finally, 90% of the code works within browsers which have all sorts of different bugs of their own. Before calling TweetBlender "crap" give it a benefit of a doubt - it might not be its problem.
