Update 9/8/2013 - The Twitter examples were broken. They are fixed and have been updated to use version 1.1 of the API (oauth). The projects demonstrate 3 methods of authentication:

- the streaming API via php - the REST API via ruby - sending Tweets using xively.com (aka cosm/pachube) and zapier.com as intermediaries.

Also a clarification: These tools are not meant to be turnkey Max solutions to using internet API's. They are more like recipes - some with other ingredients - like php, ruby, or node running in the background as OSC servers.

There's more on the way!
