This code is out-of-date now (Twitter changed some API things awhile ago) and isn’t actively maintained.

Besides, nobody ever used our @magic_8ball bot (and it’s obviously broken now).

using the right login password, can’t figure it out. this is the first time i’ve played with the twitter api, so i’m probably missing something fairly obvious.. =P

Thanks for sharing, we are going to be looking into creating a fun bot and I can imagine that your source will only help us. Thanks!
