Tweet in style
Almost exatcly one year ago I tested Twitter for the first time, had quite fun, but even so gave up several tweets later. Now with adaptcha I gave Twitter a second chance. Hopefully this time I keep it up a bit longer 
Anyway, what I would like to write about in this post are the desktop tools available for Twitter, especially the possibility to tweet with Quicksilver.
I have looked at Twhirl and Twitterrific, two desktop apps. First, they display your friend’s tweets and second, they let you write your own tweets within the desktop. Both apps are quite similar and fulfil their function but writing tweets is only a little bit easier then using the twitter website itself. Well, is there a better solution? Yes, there is! Tweet with Quicksilver! It’s easy, quickly and never in your way nevertheless always accessible.
The solution is simple and I have found and set it up last year already: Coda Hale has written a simple script. Follow his instructions and you’re ready for the following:
Cmd + Space, period, type your tweet, tab, tweet, enter
That’s so simple and just fantasic. First it looks a bit complicated but the big advantage is that you don’t have to leave your keyboard :-D Try it out, I’m sure you’re excited and won’t use anything else for twittering.
The other mentioned apps are still useful to read your friend’s tweets. However I don’t open them at the moment and just visit twitter.com.
