Not all that long ago, viewers were famously jumping out of the way of an oncoming train- dazzled by the ‘high-tech’ innovation of moving pictures.

As you may, or may not know, Twitter are going to depreciate version 1 of their API next March. What does this mean to you?

After using it for a little while I decided to make it more functional.
