Twitter to IRC monitor bot (python)
A SSL IRC bot that takes a feed from search.twitter.com and sends it to a irc channel. Edit the search variable to change the search terms. Needs python2.6. Bot will display 5 tweets every 20 seconds. Twitter search code taken from here. Tumblr screws up the quotes so unbroken code here
