I am trying to integrate my Denise with Twitter.  I have already gotten her to tweet for me, which is great and all but I want to do more. I want to give Denise her own Twitter and respond accordingly when someone tweets to her.

Do any of you all have any suggestions for getting notification?

I had found this script online but… I’m not trying to pay $25 just for some code.

Thanks in advance.

I’m speaking out of my league here, but that script looks like it may operate on the rss-feed-to-mailbox function that Twitter no longer seems to support.
There are various GET methods documented in Twitter’s developer section; https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/get/statuses/show/:id
I believe the wall of text returned by the GET method in this example contains the actual text on line 72, so… maybe just try that out and see what you get? I’m sure that extracting the text value from it isn’t too difficult from there on.

If you can get it to work it seems you could also link it up to Facebook through Twitter:

Dom, everything changed recently with the new Twitter API OAuth.  To parse replies, you need to do a persistent search on “to:username”, which can no longer be done with XML/RSS.  Everything is JSON now.  If you are good with Linux commandline, there are many Twitter API frameworks/libraries for OAuth on github, which can be pushed into the cloud, for instance on Heroku….
