A simple Twitter application that caches and rebroadcasts tweets having to do with aliens, UFOs, and exopolitics. Based on the Retweet application template at github.com/zapnap/retweet

Auto-reloads new tweets from the database every X seconds (this capability should probably be cleaned up and added to retweet!). See the application.js for the JavaScripty goodness.

rake db:migrate
rake twitter:update
ruby application.rb

Run rake twitter:update to update the cached tweets. You can schedule this as a cron job to fire every few minutes if you like.
