+# unloved_tweets
+
+This is a simple script to delete your tweets after a few minutes if nobody likes them.
+
+Never face the embarrassment of a zero-starred tweet again!
+
+## installation
+
+install dependencies (modern python, tweepy)
+
+## configuration
+
+copy example_settings.py to settings.py and fill in the required twitter api keys
+
+## running
+
+by default it runs in DEBUG mode and DELETES NOTHING
+
+Verify it's working reasonably with -
+
+	$ python unloved_tweets.py
+
+After that change DEBUG to false in your settings.py
+
+you probably will want to put this in your crontab with something like
+
+	*/5 * * * * python ~/src_to_script/unloved_tweets.py
