This bot runs in the following ways.

1. Search tweets using 'search_term' in Twitter.

2. Re-tweet the tweets.

In this example, 'search_term' is 'Cafe Miyama',
and you can see how it behaves by checking the following account.

http://twitter.com/cafemiyamabot


HOW TO SETUP:
1. Register your OAuth client on Twitter
URL: http://twitter.com/oauth_clients
NOTE: You MUST change permission settings to "Read & Write" if you wanna update via API.
      The default is "Read Only".

2. Run 'python register_pin.py' and
   use CONSUMER_KEY and CONSUMER_SECRET you got from the registeration.
NOTE: Make sure you are now signing in Twitter as your Bot account when visiting a given URL.

3. Change setting variables (CONSUMER_KEY and CONSUMER_SECRET) in main.py to the given ones.

4. Run Google App Engine dev_server and visit the following URL
URL: http://localhost:8080/cron/update
* If you finish all of your setting, set 'debug_flag' in main.py off.

5. Done!

Enjoy developing your own twitter bot!
