Other blogs have covered how to send data from the ESP8266 to a web server.  Sparkfun suggest a few services ( here ).  I've started playing around with ThinkSpeak .  The platform is great, and allows you to react to and visualise your data.  I have been looking for a way to post to Twitter from the ESP8266 for a project I've started working on and found that there wasn't a wealth of information.
