<!-- sinatra only support HTTP verbs GET and POST, so to implement PUT + DELETE HTTP verbs we need to hack a little bit-->

<form action='/tweets/<%=tweet.id%>' method='post'>
  <input type='hidden' name='_method' value='delete' />
  <!-- here, we have a hidden input which magically turns this post request into a delete request. how nice. -->
  <input type='submit' value='X' />
</form>
