[Air-L] Advice on ripping a twitter feed

I've had a look at some of the tools that have been suggested:
1: Monitter - I couldn't work out how to get a text file output
(actually, I must be pretty dense, as I couldn't even work out how to
get a single persons updates, never mind extract them!)

2: Blog analysis tool kit. Managed to get a feed fine, though it had
the URLs for the different tweets in, so I guess that would cause
problems with the treecloud.

3: Context miner; seems to be very complicated to set up - I can't
quite work out what to do. That said, I could see that it could be
useful for something more complex than just getting a text file with a
feed from a single person on Twitter - which is what I'm after &, I
think, what the original poster was after.
