StartupFairTweeting

Automatic tweeting for the UCB EECS Startup Fair, because let's face it - we are just too lazy. This module tweets from a given csv file or emails a notification saying it's out of tweets.

Requirements

• Tweepy

Usage

1. Get tweets from EventBrite. Go to the event page > Manage > Event Reports (Under Analyze).

   4. Save the file as 'temp.csv'
   5. Put this file in the same directory as tweeper.py
