+# of foriegn language and odd characters. PS you will need Python 2.7 as Python 3.X won't work
+# and of course the Twitter library https://pypi.python.org/pypi/twitter
+# plus the setuptool to install the library the Windows version is here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/
+# You need your API key from https://dev.twitter.com/discussions/631 and make sure it isn't set to
+# read-only when you make the access token.
+# Good luck, Eris.
