Hi all,
I understand that to connect arduino to twitter, facebook, etc. you need to warp some python code.
Problem is, I don't know any more....
If Anyone can give me a few pointers, put me in the direction of a tutorial, it would be greatly appreciated...
thanks (:
Wouldn't your arduino need a link to the internet first? (through USB + your computer, ethernet or wifi shield.. or other means)
I'd Probably just use my computer ..

Actually, I think python code is warped enough, already.
Plenty of people are twitting without writing any python code. Or even having python installed.

So why do you need an Arduino then?
It's not python specific. If you visit twitter and have a look at it's API you'll see that there are a lot of different web based languages you can use.
Twitter recently stopped old-style authentication for its API. Authorization is now probably a little too advanced for the arduino to handle on its own so you'll need something inbetween. It's up to you whether that's another web site or your PC.
My tweeting arduino stopped working shortly after the API authentication change by Twitter. Is anyone else's still functioning? Can the arduino handle new style API authentication?
My Arduino Twitter alarm was working fine. I updated with NeoCat's Twitter library 1.1.0 incorporating Oauth as required by Twitter, but I can't get it to work.
It comes back with "failed : code 302".
Anybody have some idea what I've done wrong.

What you've done wrong is to be way too vague. What is "it" that comes back with the error message? What does your code look like?
"It" is the "Simple Post" example in the Twitter library. The '302' is the HTTP response status code received instead '200' which indicates a successful message to Twitter.

Even the cross-posting feature of Blip.tv on Twitter stopped working. :-/

You need to register at http://arduino-tweet.appspot.com/
The arduino can't handle oauth*, so you register at that website and it acts as a go-between between your arduino and Twitter, handling the oauth stuff on your behalf.
*probably. There may be a way to do it, but I haven't seen it done
Yes, I had registered my Twitter login and pasted the token into the 'Simple Post ' code.
Now the Arduino serial monitor is indicating the successful sending of the tweet but it is not showing up when I log into Twitter.com
