This gem works with both oauth and http auth, if you care. For now this is just an API wrapper. The command line interface is temporarily dead until I have time to make it work with oauth. At that point, I'll make it a new gem twitter-cli or something and it will depend on this gem to work. That will keep the separation of the api wrapper and cli and fix a lot of dependency issues. += examples + + See the examples directory. + == Copyright Copyright (c) 2009 John Nunemaker.
