Overview

Twitter is an online social networking service that enables you to send and read short messages called tweets. When you sign in to your Twitter account, you can read and post tweets.

The Twitter recipes use the REST Adapter and the Twitter Adapter to create an integration with a Twitter application. The recipes let you interact with Twitter including tweeting messages, finding followers and friends, and getting information about trends.
