In my last post I walked through grabbing tweets from Twitter using their API. We then took those tweets and built the necessary XML “resource” for pushing that data into Saffron Sierra. In this post I’m going to cover the process of actually getting the data into (observing) Sierra.
To start, I should probably cover a minor modification I made to the code from the last post as I worked through this post. Last time, I created one XML resource for Sierra that contained all of the tweets from my timeline. After some testing, and thinking, I decided to put each tweet into it’s own separate XML resource. I think this is cleaner, and it’s the “supported” path for Sierra anyway.
