| This script is forked from Vikas Yadav, @vik-y. | |
| I made a few changes to make the script compatible with python3. | |
| I also added the ability to specify a tweet to delete only tweets before it, this can be easily changed by changing | |
| the parameters at line #60 | |

| This script is forked originally from Dave Jeffery. The original implementation | |
| was very slow and deleted around 2 tweets per second. Making it multithreaded I | |
| am able to delete 30-50 tweets per second. | |

| This script will delete all of the tweets in the specified account. | |
| You may need to hit the "more" button on the bottom of your twitter profile | |
| page every now and then as the script runs, this is due to a bug in twitter. | |
| You will need to get a consumer key and consumer secret token to use this | |
| script, you can do so by registering a twitter application at https://dev.twitter.com/apps | |
| @requirements: Python 2.5+, Tweepy (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/tweepy/1.7.1) | |
