Example to post a status update with multiple associated images/photos (or videos). Ruby

# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

# This initial setup, which involves setting the OAuth1 properties and connecting
# to api.twitter.com, is only required once at the beginning.  Once connected, the same
# object instance may be re-used, and if necessary, it will automatically reconnect
# as needed.

# Assume we've previously obtained an access token and saved it to a JSON file..
