My web-site is :
http://www.orangepi.ucoz.ua

It is addressed at Ukrainian users.

Can you explain more in details what you mean by Orange Pi could make tweets? It has linux running from memory card and on Linux runs Tweeter client which makes tweets?

Like can you explain what exactly you have done in order your Orange PI could make tweets?

Actually Orange Pi Twitter Bot mentioned your site just yesterday.

To make your pi tweet we will have to install twython, a python framework for use with twitters api. Of course we need a twitter account and an own api number.
My Orange Pi is running raspian. I took the following steps to make it work. I had a twitter account before.
In terminal type in

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install python-pip
sudo easy_install pip
sudo pip install twython

Copy code

In my github files you have to insert your api strings.
Your pi is ready to post tweets now.
