Notes!
Uses twitters rest API which has a per-ip limit of 100 requests per hour (shared with other twitter apps on your computer!). 
To not use too many of your precious a directory called 'cache' will be created where the script is.
If there are many long conversations the number of requests can be high on the first run.
If you get exception with code 400 you have hit the limit.
