They are: * HTTP: http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/HTTP * json: http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/json * utf8-string: http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/utf8-string * mime: http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/mime ('cabal install' will take care of chasing these down for you, btw..) = Authentication = When using this API binding to build your own Twitter applications, authentication is required ... = Feedback / question = Please send them to sof@forkIO.com , and I'll try to respond to them as best/quickly as possible.
