Description

In this assignment, you will create a Lewis University version of Twitter called Tlutter. Tlutter users post their thoughts as Tleets. Associated with each Tleet is the username of the person who posted it, the date and time it was posted, the text of the tleet, and optional hashtags. Your program will give Tlutter visitors the option to view Tleets that meet a variety of criteria as well as post their own Tleets.

Evidently, people have already used Tlutter. Previously posted Tleets are stored in a tab-delimited text file. Each line of the file specifies the username, date, time, content, and hashtags of the tweet, all separated by tabs. Here, for example, is what the data file might look like.
