In order to use Twitter as a notifier you will need a Twitter account. Once you create a Twitter account for the notifier, you need to register a new application for your Twitter account. After registering an application you will acquire the following credentials:

consumer_key
my_consumer_secret
my_oauth_token
my_oauth_token_secret

You can find these credentials on your application’s pages.
