Twitterbox v 04

Allows for twittering from inside the client of Second Life so that there is no need for switching aplications in order to receive updates from twitter or send tweets.

2. Communication and interaction

a Twitter client for Second Life. Webpage here

Anybody that uses Twitter for educational purposes and wants to do so from within Second Life.

• Shows tweets of the people you follow - checks every minute.
• Allows you to tweet.
• Allows you to insert the current landmark in your tweet easily via 2 keywords: SLURL (inserts slurl) and SLPOS (inserts text). See next section for examples on this.

• Tweets from other people are shown in your Chat as they are produced.
• To tweet, you have to precede your update text with /282. Example: if you type "/282 Good morning all" in the chat box and hit enter your twitter update will be "Good morning all".
• To include a slurl to your current position in your update, include the keyword SLURL. Example: typing "/282 in SLURL checking for the current TwitterBox version - still 4." in the chat box will produce the update "in http://tinyurl.com/cpmwb7 checking for the current TwitterBox version - still 4.". Notice the slurl gets automatically converted to tinyurl.

   

• To include your position in text - for example, "MUVEnation (35, 223, 601)", include the keyword SLPOS.

I have used it primarly to follow twitter updates without having to switch from the SL client, which saves a lot of time and screen switching.
