<title>Loading HTML</title>

I am trying to make a program to help monitor new twitter posts, this will also count in my C++ Programing class.

I have spent loads of time and written a program to transcribe the HTML home page to posts in the program, and made a GUI using SDL. However I need a way of getting HTML and Sprites in real time from twitter.

What library should I use?
How do I get it?
Tutorials?

This must be compilable eventually on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

I have worked hard for a while looking for this but have come up short. I was looking at WinSock tutorials but just don't understand fully.

Thanks in advance,
