As explained by dailymail this is how The Twitter Feeder Works:
When a message is sent to @feedtoby it is received by a mini-computer known as a Nanode microcontroller. This is linked up to little motor taken from a household printer HP Deskjet 500.When the mini-computer receives the message, the buzzer goes off and Toby comes running over and sits beneath a tube under his feeder contraption.Then the motor comes to life and pulls open a trap door which releases a serving of food.The doggy treat then comes dropping down the tube and into Toby's food bowl.Then a digital camera then takes a photo of him and sends it back to Nat on Twitter - so he knows Toby has been fed.(Source of article)
