Is there a way to automatically fetch data from a website, and then send it to the Netduino to complete the action?
Sorry if this is obvious.

Depends what website you are fetching data from, and if it meant to return data that can be easily parsed to grab exactly what you want. Take a look at my post about Getting Weather Data with the Netduino plus, the code there might help you a little.

EDIT: Sorry, I didn't see your post Chris. I thought that I would have to have the computer fetch it and then send it. You are saying the Netduino can fetch it directly?
Elze Kool wrote a pretty rich .NET Micro Framework client for Twitter. You may be able to pull out the graphics code and slim it down to fit on Netduino...

We previously adapted Elze's weather app to work on Netduino Plus. In a spare evening.

Twitter. Just collect text from feeds.
I'll take a look now.
Thanks!

I'm sure you could figure out a way to get stuff from twitter directly. I initially did what you are thinking (Website > Computer > Netduino) but then I fired my computer/cut the middle device (terrible bad economy joke ) and got the netduino plus to get the data right from the website. I hope that helps.
If I get some time this week end I'll search around and see if I can give you any Twitter specific advice.
