quicktwitter

i’ve been using and following all of the buzz around twitter recently, and all of the desktop clients cropping up for it are pretty cool. My only complaint, though, is that they’re another program to be running, either silently or in my menubar. I’ve already got a tool that does input and system notifications, and it’s quicksilver.

So, says me to myself, why not have a quicksilver plugin that does twitter-stuff? Shouldnt it be able to use its own notifications (like the itunes track change), and it’s handy text to anything functionality to post that info through twitter’s API?

Here’s the challenge, at least from my angle. I don’t know a lick of objective c, or anything about the xcode development environment in general. Web is a little different than desktop…but that doesn’t mean I’m not willing to learn. If any of my readership has resources on getting started with objective c, xcode, or something as specific as quicksilver plugins (though i did find a pretty bitchin’ resource on that), please contribute either in my comments or to the twitter wiki page about my “project”.

Oh yeah, and wish me luck.

    I don’t have Quicksilver, but an ancient computer. Wrote Twitter Submitter in response to all of the other cool stuff the MacOSX folks already have for Twitter! See below:

    Twitter Submitter works on any browser, any computer system. It allows you to post updates to your Twitter blog. I wrote it as I have a Win95 system and enjoy using Lynx and Opera, and all of the nifty apps accessing the Twitter API are too complex, confusing for me, or only work on a Mac or Vista system!
