        var url = "https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=wimarbueno&include_rts=true&include_entities=true&count=10&callback=?";

        //Use jQuery getJSON method to fetch the data from the url and then create our unordered list with the relevant data.
        $.getJSON(url, function(json) {
            var html = "<ul>";
            //loop through and within data array's retrieve the message variable.            
            $.each(json, function(i, tw) {
                html += "<li><div class=\"views-field views-field-created\"><span class=\"field-content\">Update " + timeAgo(tw.created_at) + "</span></div><a href=\"https://twitter.com/RecycleCartons\" target=\"_blank\">" + tw.text + "</a></li>";
