Linux Twitter Command Line Updates

[James Finstrom]

I have been palying quite a bit with the twitter api with curl via
bash and php and have done a bit of asterisk intigration with
tweet2call (http://dontcallmyboss.com/projects/) which generates
callbacks in to a queue via direct message. I also have a script that
tracks calls to the piggy flu hotline (http://twitter.com/piggy_phone)
people call in it tweets the state and areacode of the call. Neat
stuff
