Dorkitweet

You can use this to send tweets via the command line, with URLs optionally shortened by your CloudApp account.

Dorkitweet is pretty rough around the edges, but I thought someone may find it useful.

Alfred

I pretty much only use Dorkitweet as a way to tweet via Alfred.

Now, to send a tweet from my Mac, I just do this:

  1. press command-space
  2. type tweet blah blah blah blah blah
  3. press Enter

kickinrad, no?

FYI, here are my Alfred Extension settings to make it work:
