Twitter Response Actions

Ok guys, i am very new to the form, and somewhat of a intermediate programmer...

I am interested in doing something like this:

http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/topic,8439.0.html

but all via the arduino interface... I would like to be able to DM my test twitter account, and based on the DM that i receive, allow the arduino to do a particular task...

I've gotten the arduino setup to send tweets, using the test account and the twitter library... but i am lost as to how to geet the twitter feed to read messages sent to the twitter account... Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The small amount of SRAM on the ATmega328 makes the Arduino pretty lousy at processing large strings. Sending tweets isn't too bad given the intent of twitter. (Remember that it originated with messages being sent via SMS.)

Receiving messages in another story. If the twitter library doesn't support it, you might to implement this yourself. It looks like with the link you provided, that person created sever-based scripts that handled the twitter processing. That same script then could act as an interface between the Arduino and Twitter.
