AppleScript Tweet

Ever wanted to quickly shoot off a Tweet to Twitter, but didn’t want to be distracted by reading all the tweets from the people you follow in your feed? AppleScriptTweet is the answer.

This simple AppleScript, which was originally created to allow me to post quick reminders to Remember the Milk, will let you shoot off a quick tweet to anyone, and then Growl will let you know whether or not it was successfully posted.

Important: See this post to setup Twurl, which is needed for AppleScriptTweet to work: http://jimmitchell.org/2010/09/20/applescripttweet-updated-for-use-with-twurl/

Enhanced Use

When used along with FastScripts (one of my very most favorite apps) from Red Sweater Software, AppleScriptTweet is never more than a keystroke away.
