You'll need to authenticate via OAuth to run this application

First, register your application to acquire a consumer key.

Next, run blog.bootstrap.Bootstrap with the following set as system properties:

-Dtwitter4j.oauth.consumerKey=[consumer key]
-Dtwitter4j.oauth.consumerSecret=[consumer secret]

This will load an access token which can later be used to run samples.

Samples are included in the blog.Driver, and primarily intended to be executed from the IDE
