Automatically enters you into twitter based competitions. Link to a twitter account and it will retweet any tweets that have a pre-defined set of key words. The program runs every 60 seconds, this is to avoid the rate limit set by Twitter. The program only retweets tweets, it does not yet follow them.
You WILL NEED a Twitter account that is linked to a mobile device. You are then able to get a consumer key, consumer secret key, access token key and access secret token.
