Hi @jed Thank you very much for your thoughtful reply. Yeah at the moment people can download the TW and write to it and then they have to save it an re upload it - which is all cumbersom and not accessible to most people.
So I appreciate you are saying things are actually not as strait forwarded as they need to be. I will continue re-read your message and re read the tw.com for the various option and hopefully I'll finally manage something. I hoped that through the node.js I could create a server to the world. Thank you for an honest reply.
