I have a script which will let me post to twitter (yeah yeah I am hooked hard) and am looking to make it more like an app. I have the load-run statusbar plugin running so I can invoke the script,but have to type in quite a bit each time rather than just entering my status message. You invoke with a python ~/MyDocs/.documents/twitter.py username password "status message" I'd like to just have the status message part for obvious reasons. Right now I have to enter the full path + username and password each time... This is a personal quest at the moment, but I would imagine more people would be psyched to have something like this... Here's the full script which I found here - http://matthewm.boedicker.org/blog/?p=91 #!/usr/bin/python # Twitter API # Copyright (C) 2007 Matthew M.
