Makes Backbone.js with Rails+CSRF
//
// Backbone.Rails.js
//
// Makes Backbone.js play nicely with the default Rails setup, i.e.,
// no need to set
// ActiveRecord::Base.include_root_in_json = false
// and build all of your models directly from `params` rather than
// `params[:model]`.
//
// Load this file after backbone.js and before your application JS.

getTweetsFor("domenic", function (err, results) {
