I came across a new service called http://thingSpeak.com which allows you to control your arduino+ethernet via twitter by looking for keywords. However I've run into some problems while getting it setup, and the sites documentation is lacking. Does anyone have any experience with thingspeak or controlling arudino via twitter?
