twittering in text mode
While the world is moving to better and more snazzy UI's for Twitter ( see www.peoplebrowsr.com ) I am exploring the wonders of text mode.
This post was written as an email, I now have a python script that downloads my tweets and displays them on a green on black terminal emulator on my Mac, and I just discovered excla.im (again).
The python script runs off a cron job on my laptop and I save the tweets so I can catch up - scanning a screen full of formatted text - one tweet per line is far more efficient for me than
staring at screens with fancy distracting colors - after all isn't this all about 140 characters of text
- let's get with the program people! Yay, text mode! Two cheers! No, I mean only two people cheered for that ;-)
