[erlang-questions] Twitter Account Activity API (webhooks) problems

[Peter Andersson]

Thanks a lot Marc for the help and pointers, much appreciated!

I'll take a look at your oauth code. Maybe it can give me some new ideas.

A polling solution could maybe be a workaround for me, at least until I
manage to get that webhook up and running.
