Aben's Twitter is a basic twitter app to read and compose tweets the Twitter API.

- List anything else that you can get done to improve the app functionality!
I made sure that the time stamp updates both when we refresh and when the like and retweet buttons are pressed. That will made it easy to see the time of one specific tweet without having to refresh the whole tableView.
Please list two areas of the assignment you'd like to discuss further with your peers during the next class (examples include better ways to implement something, how to extend your app in certain ways, etc):
- protocols
- models

Describe any challenges encountered while building the app.
My Initial problem was with challenge was with protocols, deligates and models. I spent a while to have a good understanding to be able to debug my code. Also since the Twitter project have it's own APIManager, it was a bit confusing to go from my Flixer App understanding of structure to this one. But as I work through it, I found out how much it made my life easier.
