Mashup Your Twitter Tweets to Your Skype Mood With Twype
by Russell Shaw
U.K.-based freelance (among other things) widget and applet developer Julian Bond (not to be confused with the famous U.S. civil rights leader) writes about Twype, a new program now in alpha that lets you post Twitter Tweets to your Skype Moods.
This “small Windows tray program,” Julian tells us, works by checking your Twitter account every five minutes and grabing the latest tweet. This gets posted to your Skype Mood.
Yes, it is Windows-only for now.
To install the program, download it from here, and then run the .exe file. The first time it runs, a pop-up dialog asks you for your Twitter ID. After you ener this info, it will start in your Windows system tray.
Julian promises to post source code “in a few days,” as well as to improve Twype’s icon and do some further design work on the Twype icon.
Work on Mac compatibility too, Julian.
