I have been building an apartment monitor that can collect
information around my apartment (temp, light, occupancy, and
“knocks” via XBee from my wireless knock sensor). At first I used
an internet of things service - Xively - to make the results
available to my phone while traveling. However, after reading the
excellent book "<a moz-do-not-send="true"

name="tdTitle" class="adbl-flyout-trigger-marker adbl-link

the information.

<div>I have this working now with my Arduino having its own
Twitter tag - @chipduino. But I have run into the limitations
of the Arduino platform [...]<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>3) Move to a more capable embedded system like the Beagle
Board, Raspberry PI or even the new combo boards like Galileo or
Yun where I could run the Twitter stuff locally.</div>

</div>
<div>I am sure someone has dove into the Social Media pool, what
is your advice on the best path forward?</div>
