    description <<-MD
      The TwitterUserAgent follows the timeline of a specified Twitter user.

      Twitter credentials must be supplied as either [credentials](/user_credentials) called
      `twitter_consumer_key`, `twitter_consumer_secret`, `twitter_oauth_token`, and `twitter_oauth_token_secret`,
      or as options to this Agent called `consumer_key`, `consumer_secret`, `oauth_token`, and `oauth_token_secret`.

      To get oAuth credentials for Twitter, [follow these instructions](https://github.com/cantino/huginn/wiki/Getting-a-twitter-oauth-token).

      You must also provide the `username` of the Twitter user to monitor.

      Set `include_retweets` to `false` to not include retweets (default: `true`)

      Set `expected_update_period_in_days` to the maximum amount of time that you'd expect to pass between Events being created by this Agent.

      Set `starting_at` to the date/time (eg. `Mon Jun 02 00:38:12 +0000 2014`) you want to start receiving tweets from (default: agent's `created_at`)
