                                                    access_token:    'access_token',
                                                    access_secret:   'access_secret',
                                                    watchers: {
                                                      '#CHANNEL' => ['TWITTER_USERNAME']
                                                    }
                                                  }

Then post a link to a specific tweet and the bot should post the content of said tweet to the channel.
