/*
*	Code snippet for posting tweets to your own twitter account from node.js.
*	You must first create an app through twitter, grab the apps key/secret,
*	and generate your access token/secret (should be same page that you get the 
*	app key/secret).
* 	Uses oauth package found below:
*		https://github.com/ciaranj/node-oauth
*		npm install oauth
*	For additional usage beyond status updates, refer to twitter api
*		https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1
