Request your Twitter archive
Download and unzip the archive file
Put tweets.csv in the same directory as this gist's package.json and markov-tweets.js files
Run npm install to install dependencies
Run node markov-tweets.js to generate some strings!

Running the script may take a few seconds depending on the size of your archive CSV. When it's done it will log out 20 random strings based on the Markov chain generated.
