    The result is in XML.

     

    gHowl comes with an XML parser so you might give that one a try.  The workflow would be:

    1.  Stream your panel contents (out of the Twitter component) to a file location.

    2.  Supply file path to the gHowl XML parser.

     

    The data should be much more usable after that.

     

    I am working a more elegant way of dealing with web-based XML feeds in the next release.  The twitter component is still in its infancy...  more proof-of-concept at this point.
