Notes

You'll likely want to make the interval loops here much much longer or use time of day to determine when to post. if you leave it at 10 seconds, you'll quickly meet the twitter anti-spam rate limit for posting tweets.

1. make a twitter account

2. go here: and register: https://developer.twitter.com/

3. under your username, create a new app, this will get you keys to post to twitter
