##just for playing with twitter api..

1. Create a App at: https://dev.twitter.com/apps/new
2. Get your Credentials
3. gem install 'twitter' or add it to your Gemfile

4. Then you can do something like this (Typically in your initializer):


   Twitter.configure do |config|
     config.consumer_key = 'nbnbmnbnbmn'
     config.consumer_secret = 'nmn,mnmn,'
     config.oauth_token = 'mn,mmn,'
     config.oauth_token_secret = 'ghghjghj'
   end


5. controller:

@tweets = Twitter.user_timeline("gem")

## typically you would want to save the records to the database


6. View:

<% @tweets.each do |tweet| %>
    <%= tweet.text %><br/>
<% end %>
