+  Twitter Client with Strings
+ 
+ This sketch connects to Twitter using using an Arduino WiFi shield. 
+ It parses the XML returned, and looks for <text>this is a tweet</text>
+ 
+ This example is written for a network using WPA encryption. For 
+ WEP or WPA, change the Wifi.begin() call accordingly.
+ 
+ This example uses the String library, which is part of the Arduino core from
+ version 0019.  
+ 
+ Circuit:
+ * WiFi shield attached to pins 10, 11, 12, 13
+ 
+ created 15 Sep 2011
+ modified 2 Mar 2012
+ by Tom Igoe
+ 
+ This code is in the public domain.
