  • (import '(twitter4j TwitterFactory))(map #(str (. % getText)) (.. (TwitterFactory.)(getInstance "user" "pass") getFriendsTimeline)) (via @asakawajunya) -- So this is a meta-tweet that is possible probably only in Clojure. It is a tweet, but it is also a program, but it is also a twitter client, in a tweet, that is also a program. Clojure can be terse sometimes.  This gets the timeline of posts of the people you follow on twitter.
    • (import '(twitter4j TwitterFactory Query))(map #(str (. % getText))(. (.. (TwitterFactory.) getInstance (search(Query."Clojure")))getTweets)) (via @asakawajunya) -- this is a search of the latest tweets that have the word 'clojure' in them. Clojure, the only true programming language for twitter.
