i just tested how oAuth works, but when i try to retrieve data,it just give me tons of data in json/xml form, tohtml() function seems not to work. Also, is there a feature wherein everytime a tweet or message posted on the timeline it will trigger a process?just like in the send/receive email messages functions?...

Most web apis will return data in a JSON or XML format. For JSON, I believe there is component available in Shared Components for parsing JSON. For XML, you can use the xpathsnippet() expression.
There is no function to trigger a process for every new tweet but, you can certainly build a process model that will check at an interval for tweets and then do something with them.

thanks owen. btw, is it also possible to post message back to the social media from appian task? let's say i were able to get the tweets/fb post on my timeline - create a process to answer the tweet(case) -> is it possible that my answer will be posted under the comment box of that particular tweet/fb post thru OAuth? - just want to make sure that this can be done. thanks in advance.

Many social networks have REST APIs and/or Java libraries to work with them programmatically. What you want to do is certainly possible.
