It's cool to hack around with APIs for general benefit (and Twitter's is as good as any, and provides access to lots of neat data), but fair warning: Twitter doesn't approve of using its API for automated retweets[0]. Chalk this up as a different sort of lesson in working with APIs :)

Hi and thanks for your answer. Retweeting should be used cautously of course and not for spamming. You don't want to provide a poor Twitter experience to your users, that's crystal clear.
