Glad you found it useful. Are you planning on building something with an Arduino then?
this is purrrfact!
It's for my end of year degree show, I plan on building a system whereby when someone types in #kingstondegreeshow into twitter my audio sample will play in the degree show.
I will be situated in an industrial-ish space and the only visible things will be the speakers on the walls, so really my work won't exist until it's playing/being mentioned on twitter.
that's the plan anyway!
Sounds cool. The "Alertuino" slides expect you to use a computer to do the talking-to-the-Internet bit because I wanted to keep things simple on the Arduino end; so it will work for what you're building, but will need a computer hidden away somewhere.
A slightly more advanced version would be to use one of the Arduino Ethernet shields - then you won't need a computer and the Arduino can talk to the Internet itself.
That's what Bubblino (my twitter-watching, bubble-blowing Arduino-bot) uses. If you want to see the code for that, it's available on my Google code page. That code uses the Adafruit Ethernet shield, but I'm probably going to be reworking it to use the official Arduino Ethernet shield sometime, so feel free to drop me a line if you go down that route.
thank you!
