Tweets feed

twitterFeed: "http://lviv.gdg.org.ua/tweetledee/favoritesjson.php?c=10&cache_interval=900" - Tweetledee stream url. Starting from v1.1 Twitter API requires OAuth, so it's not possible to get JSON with recent tweets without application authentication on serverside. To solve this problem we set up Tweetledee on our PHP powered server side by side with GDG Lviv wordpress site. If you want to use twitter-feed.html content block you have to set up your own Tweetledee instance.
