Ableton Live learns how to tweet

...with a bit of help from Max for Live, MXJ and Jython.

I sat and watched fifteen minutes of the Twitter public timeline while recording this video, and have now lost the will to live.

now make it go backwards, so that people can see what track is being played by following a specific feed, or have some way the audience could interact with the set by sending certain things @ a specific feed. Or maybe just have a program that auto-tweets when a set is beginning, and when it is over, for historical purposes.

maybe!

Frighteningly, none of that is too difficult.

I will have to brainstorm then and think of something actually useful that twtitter could do then and get back to you.

I am trying to use python twitter tools with jython and maxmsp, but I get import error of twitter. How can I import a module? I get "no module named..."

When I import from command line it works.
Thanks for your help!
