The purpose of this program is to open links posted by selected accounts instantly after they are posted on Twitter. This is ahead of text message notifications, Twitter web client updates, etc. This will not help with RSVP releases, only NDC releases.

After a short initialization period, tweets about Nike will start scrolling by. Only tweets from followed accounts containing links will be opened though. Note: links will open faster if your default browser is already opened.
To test, make sure your account is in the follow list (case-sensitive in version 0.3a) and tweet a link. Watch it open... instantly!
Known bugs
On OS X v0.3a, names in the follow list are case-sensitive. If you do not match the name exactly as it is on twitter, it won't work.
