For an example on how to use this in Cucumber see this "scenario":http://github.com/bmabey/codenote/blob/master/features/twitter_quiz.feature#L31-34 and the corresponding "step definitions":http://github.com/bmabey/codenote/blob/master/features/step_definitions/twitter_search_steps.rb#L1-12.

Documentation is lacking at this point, but there really isn't much to this gem. Take a look at the "code":http://github.com/bmabey/faketwitter/blob/master/lib/faketwitter.rb and the corresponding "RSpec examples":http://github.com/bmabey/faketwitter/blob/master/spec/faketwitter_spec.rb.
