Twitter 4 Skype

"Here’s a little secret no one seems to know about (or at least before this post!). There is a Skype robot which will post to your Twitter account.Here are the simple instructions:

  1. Add twitter4skype as a contact.
  2. Type the following as a single chat message to twitter4skype:

    /account (shift+return)
    yourtwitteraccountname (shift+return)
    yourtwitteraccountpassword (shift+return)

     

  3. The system should return: twitter4skype Registration complete!
  4. The next time you write a chat message to twitter4skype, the entry will appear on your account and you’ll receive your friends’ twitters in Skype.

does not work

for some reason. Skype 1.4 on linux. Tried both shift-return and alt-return

Third Party?

Is this bot operated by Twitter, or is it by a third party? I'd be concerned about handing out my username and password to agents I know nothing about.

Third party?

I guess that depends on what side of the prism you're looking through...
It's either a feature or a it's a bug.
I tried it and the reply back indicatcats twitter4skype is the company to investigate.

Since I don't usually send financial data over an app like twitter I consider this a nifty trick.
I tend to use other ID/PW combos for sensitive data.
