New description:

 Our example for
 [https://stem.torproject.org/tutorials/to_russia_with_love.html#reading-
 twitter reading Twitter feeds] uses the 1.0 version of the Twitter API.
 This API has [https://dev.twitter.com/blog/api-v1-is-retired now been
 deprecated] and queries fail with...

 {{{
 {"errors": [{
   "message": "The Twitter REST API v1 is no longer
               active. Please migrate to API v1.1.
               https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/overview.";,
   "code": 68
 }]}
 }}}

 This causes our example to fail with...

 {{{
 atagar@morrigan:~/Desktop/stem$ python twitter_script
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "twitter_script", line 39, in <module>
     print "%i. %s" % (index + 1, tweet["created_at"])
 TypeError: string indices must be integers
 }}}

 Patches welcome for migrating the example to the 1.1 API!
