Update Twitter via iChat status message, part II
A while back I posted a perl script that would update your Twitter status whenever you changed your iChat status message. Unfortunately, you had to configure launchd or cron to use it, which no one wanted to do. So I made an open-source Cocoa app that is easy to use! It’s called TikiTwit, and you can download it for free!
Download it here! This is a very early version, so please help me test it!

yay! i’ll try to get you an icon / graphics for it later on tonight :-)
Is there any way to make this work the other way around? I want my iChat status (if I’m online) to change whenever I update my Twitter.
Can this be done?
Yeah, we’ll add this in the next version. In the mean time, it looks like there are a bunch of other Twitter/iChat apps out there now. Here is one that might do what you want:

The guy who wrote Twittereeze has a pretty great blog.
Very cool! It would be sweet if you could make something similar for Adium.
I’ll add skype and adium support when I get a chance…
Very cool app - does exactly what it says on the tin. Was just wondering if you could fix it so that when you have your status set to your currently playing song in iTunes that is posts that rather than “%Title - %Artist”?
I’ve really been neglecting this little app, but I’ll probably add the requested features, including the iTunes fix, before the month is up. I sketched out a flow of how the next version of the app is supposed to work, but I spent a good part of this month drinking and sleeping and playing with my dog..
Not teaching my grandmother how to suck eggs here or anything, but http://www.leroux.ca/archive/dsp_view_470.cfm has an applescript that parses the song name out of iTunes…

I don’t know if this is possible - but I would love it to run in the background with an icon in the menubar.
Otherwise - great app and I haven’t had any problems with it!
Wow.. people are still using TikiTwit!
I’ve been moving more of my life over to Linux, so I don’t know how soon I’ll get to it. I’m tickled that it’s still getting use!
The code is checked in on SourceForge, so if anyone wants to take over and improve it..
