Building Twitter is not easy

Question: 

I am playing with Views to make twitter-like page:

Main content --------------|--Right side

| Avatar-Author name----|--About author
| Node 1--------------------|--blah blah blah
| Node 2--------------------|--email
| Node 3--------------------|
| Node 4--------------------|
| More>---------------------|

I got the left column working well, but the right... not.
www.domain.com/byauthor/%
I made a block in views but it's not getting the argument and showing nothing but empty text.
What do I do wrong? Please. I got the book, but no answers there...

Responses

1. What exactly is the main

What exactly is the main content supposed to display? The node itself?

Try creating a panel pane in Views instead of a block and select the "argument from context" option on the View.

2. Can panel pane be displayed as block?

The "main" will be the content:

panel pane with name of author and avatar

and panel pane with the posts he authored....

On the right side, just like in twitter I want to display author info:
email, about, etc...

Can I do it with panel pane?
