In my opinion, Twitter is a killer social networking app. Its easy to use, fun & unobtrusive. There are no doubt numerous ways to respond in no more than 140 characters to Twitter's perennial question: What are you doing?

Well, here's another way to Tweet! In case you didn't know its possible to post messages to Twitter using your Skype account & also receive updates from those you follow.

There's actually a Skype bot that, with the right instructions, will post to your Twitter account. Here's how...
-----
1. Login to your Skype account
2. Add twitter4skype as a contact
3. Type the following as a SINGLE (this is important) chat message to twitter4skype:

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

4. The system should return: twitter4skype Registration complete!
5. The next time you type a chat message to twitter4skype, the entry will appear on your Twitter account and you’ll receive Twitter updates from those you follow via Skype
-----
Note: the twitter4skype contact add & registration confirmation are two separate processes. Skype may not respond instantly. In my case, each process took a day or so > i was good to go in about 48h

Happy Tweets ;p
