Social networking website Twitter contains a rich and fruitful API for applications to access. As a result integrating Twitter with Windows Live Messenger is easy and works well, particularly with the aid of Messenger add-on Messenger Plus! Live.



Update your Twitter status through conservation windows

There are essentially two ways to achieve this. You can use either Twitter Plus! or add Messenger bot twitt'd. Twitt'd does not require any add-ons in order to function, but Twitter Plus! is quicker to use as you only need to type "/twitter" followed by your message.

Sync your personal message with your Twitter status

It is possible to sync what you write on Twitter with Windows Live Messenger, and when you change your Messenger personal message to show up on your Twitter profile. Use Twitter Psm Pusher to update your Twitter status using your personal message or Twitter2PSM to sync your latest Twitter and make it show up as your personal message. There is also Twit2MSN which appears to be a good all-rounder at this function.

View your friend's latest tweets

Twit4Live like Twitter Plus! allows you to update your status on twitter, but it also allows you to view tweets and send them to your contacts as well set as your PSM. Overall this script is a good all-rounder, yet contains the specific function to receive toast pop-up notifications of other Twitter users you are currently following.

Post your currently playing music track to Twitter

Windows Live Messenger contains the feature "Now Playing" which allows you to sync whatever your playing on your computer with your personal message. Twitter Music syncs this with Twitter by adding a new tweet with each track played.

So there is the definitive list of applications to enchant your Twitter experience within Windows Live Messenger. I suggest giving all of these a go to see what works for you, as many of these have similar features/functions and one will generally out-perform the other.

Twitter has taken the world by storm, with recent reports suggesting its traffic has increased nearly 10-fold in the past year alone. All the RSS feeds, blogging advice emails, and now many of developers within the Messenger community are now using Twitter and suggesting websites to adopt its platform to take social networking to a new level. I thought we best give it shot.

The great thing about Twitter is it's personal. I can't really justify giving a post on all the small finds I find throughout the Messenger world, or the constant of construction undergoing with the website. Twitter gives you every inside scoop we find, as well as allowing us to follow those who are related fields. This has not only proved to be useful from our prospective, but fun too.

So are you a Twitter user? Do you want to start using twitter? Do you want to start following Messenger Stuff updates?

For all of you who don't know, Twitter is "a free social networking and micro-blogging service that allows users to send updates (otherwise known as tweets) which are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length." Basically it keeps you and your friends up-to-date with each other, you literally tell this service what your doing and others view this on your Twitter page.

The traditional way is to use Twitter via text-messaging, but this new form of social networking has expanded into other services, such as an app for your iPhone or iPod Touch. Now you can use Twitter through Skype, Google Talk, Yahoo! Messenger and of course Windows Live Messenger using an interactive bot.

Twitt'd requires your username and password, then you're off! It is really easy to use and get a hold of, plus you don't need to worry about wasting text messages. To use Twitt'd for Windows Live Messenger add twittd@live.com as a contact.
