Tweet without the baggage


I love using Twitter. That being said, I’m SICK of the redundancy! Raise your hand if you are with me in saying that you are a bit tired of seeing the same tweets between all your devices. I’ve got UberTwitter on my Blackberry, the Web Interface, Tweetie for my Mac…I just want to TWEET! I don’t care what others are doing, I just want to get my thoughts out! Finally there is an AMAZING way to do this, using Quicksilver. Check out what codahale (blog.codahale.com) has done with Applescript. Drop his script into your ~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/Actions/ folder, re-start Quicksilver, and you are in action.

Tweeting from Quicksilver is fun!

You can get the whole story and the easy installation instructions over at blog.codahale.com.

All you have to do is engage Quicksilver, hit ‘.’ to enter the text mode, then type your tweet, hit tab, then select ‘Tweet’ as the action. It’s easy, quick, and you don’t have to be constantly bothered by what other people are doing at the moment, which helps you get more work done ;)

    Tweeting from Quicksilver is for geeks and, it’s awesome. Alternatively, I’ve started using Google’s Quick Search Box for Mac. It’s not as robust as Quicksilver, but it’s more polished and it uses Spotlight’s index instead of creating it’s own (like QS does).
