PHP Retweeter

This past week, I've been coding a little more than usual (outside of work, anyways).  I've been working on a few personal things as well as some freelance stuff.  But what this post is really about is a little script I put together a while ago to operate a Twitter bot, one that retweets things other users say and follows them back if they reply.  I call it the PHP Retweeter (for obvious reasons).  It's pretty cool.  The concept itself is pretty old and there are probably a ton of guides out there on how to put one together, but I figured I'd release mine to give people yet another alternative.  I based it on Abraham Williams' OAuth library for authentication and to send my API calls.  Download it and give it a try.
