Squawk - Twitter Growl notifications
02 Mar 2007
Most of us here are "Twitter":http://twitter.com addicts ("Damen":http://twitter.com/dctanner, "Jonathan":http://twitter.com/noodlesinmysandals and "Max":http://twitter.com/maxthelion). However I keep getting frustrated and distracted by either Twitterific having a connection problem or the Twitter AIM bot going offline. Surprised that no one had done this already, I put "two":http://twitter.rubyforge.org/ and "two":http://segment7.net/projects/ruby/growl/ together, and with the magic of ruby we have Twitter updates as "Growl":http://growl.info/ notifications (we'll call them Squawks!) - easy.
