Tweeting from Mathematica
Here is a combination I never thought I would see – using Mathematica to update your twitter account courtesy of code from James Rohal. I’ve not tried it yet but it looks like fun!
If you have never heard of Twitter I suggest you take a look at the Wikipedia article. It’s a lot of fun and you’ll find people like Stephen Fry and Barack Obama among its users.
Update (12th May2009): A little while after James posted his tutorial, Wolfram Research updated their blog with a more in-depth look at accessing Twitter from Mathematica.
That is a very good idea! It could be used if you are running a long calculation that takes weeks but every now and then it gives you a point/result that you could publish real time!
