Hi,

I'm using the TweetStreamer to monitor a few key words, when I hit these key words, I'd like to retweet the tweet, and follow the user who created it. I can't see an obvious way around this at the moment, so am looking for suggestions!

You would probably have to connect to the Twitter API for that, using the HTTPCaller. The Tweeter transformer can only do tweets, not retweets (and is currently not working due to Twitter API authentication changes)
