Look, Ma, I'm a bird

So yeah, I've been convinced to try Twitter - not sure why, since I barely keep this blog updated, but hey, apparently lots of useful info is on it somewhere, so...

I must admit I like the API - simple, and based on REST, which is always a good sign of someone with sense. Consider the hardest bit of getting the twitter display above working was the XML parsing in PHP, and you might get some idea. Though, obviously, if you've never tried XML parsing in PHP, that will mean only slightly more than "flange banana wrench giraffe".

Anyway, my last three twitters will appear above. At some point I may extend the parsing a bit and include the timestamp or something, but for now this'll do.
