| 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 | |
