These functions can be used to set or delete a user's Twitter status

tweet(text, ...)
updateStatus(text, lat=NULL, long=NULL, placeID=NULL,
             displayCoords=NULL, inReplyTo=NULL, mediaPath=NULL, 
             bypassCharLimit=FALSE, ...)
deleteStatus(status, ...)

`text`	The text to use for a new status
`status`	An object of class `status`
`lat`	If not `NULL`, the latitude the status refers to. Ignored if no `long` parameter is provided
`long`	If not `NULL`, the longitude the status refers to. Ignored if no `lat` parameter is provided
`placeID`	If not `NULL`, provides a place in the world. See Twitter documentation for details
`displayCoords`	Whether or not to put a pin on the exact coordinates a tweet has been sent from, `true` or `false` if not `NULL`
`inReplyTo`	If not `NULL`, denotes the status this is in reply to. Either an object of class `status` or an ID value
`mediaPath`	If not `NULL`, file path to a supported media format (PNG, JPG and GIF) to be included in the status update
`bypassCharLimit`	If `TRUE` will not enforce the incoming tweet is less than 140 characters. This can be useful when dealing with autoshortened links
`...`	Optional arguments to be passed to `GET`

These messages will only operate properly if the user is authenticated via OAuth

The tweet and updateStatus functions are the same.

To delete a status message, pass in an object of class status, such as from the return value of updateStatus.

The updateStatus function will return an object of class status.

The deleteStatus returns TRUE on success and an error if failure occurs.
