/* Twitter Client with Strings This sketch connects to Twitter using an Ethernet shield. It parses the XML returned, and looks for this is a tweet You can use the Arduino Ethernet shield, or the Adafruit Ethernet shield, either one will work, as long as it's got a Wiznet Ethernet module on board. This example uses the DHCP routines in the Ethernet library which is part of the Arduino core from version 1.0 beta 1 This example uses the String library, which is part of the Arduino core from version 0019.
