PinPopular “Twitter tweet” bug fix

@PinPopular is a Twitter bot for tweeting the most popular posts from the Pinboard.in.

Recently some nice people notify me on Twitter that often there are some tweet with no context at all , then I found that the title of the image post from Twitter in Pinboard is just “Twitter”, like this:

PinPopular’s data is actually crawl from the Pinboard Popular page’s rss feed. After checked the feed then I found that some post’s title is just “Twitter” like this:

<item rdf:about="https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/716683740903247873/photo/1">
<title>Twitter</title>

The solution is using the description instead of the “Twitter” title for the tweet content, it seems working good now.

I also appreciate warm, soft, and blue. pic.twitter.com/uS0LbCbiYd

P.S. I also transfered the PinPopular from the Linode where it lives for years to DigitalOcean now.
