My thought was to display your own tweets in the sidebar of your page, so that people visiting your page or reading your posts would see them instantly. (There's an example of what I'm thinking about in the right-hand sidebar of my friend Chris' blog, which uses the Wordpress plugin that exists for it.)
It would be interesting, though in the context of the intermediate role that LJ/DW have played between Facebook-style social media and traditional blogs, if it could also display your friends' tweets on your reading page, and I hadn't really thought about it. However, the difficulty there is that (like LJ/DW) quite a few people lock their tweets, and so you want to simultaneously be able to show all tweets to the logged-in user whosee reading page it is, but only show public tweets to other users. Twitter uses oauth, so (especially if you're already looking at oauth for cross-posting) this probably isn't impossible, though.
On the "I've opened my big mouth" principle, I may have to put together a preliminary design spec for this, figuring out what technologies are needed to string together to make it work in various use cases.
