Several services--allows multiple people to tweet to the same account, autofollow, takes data from an rss feed and creates a tweet for each post.

Twitter is for microblogging, not for link-spamming your macroblog.
Why your link spam bot does not cut it.

A bot that interfaces between irc and twitter. To use just edit the bot and change the config:

my $ircserver = 'irc.inet.tele.dk'; //add your irc network
my $ircchannel = '#corporate'; //add your irc channel
my $nickname = '``twitter'; //add your twitter bots nick
my $username = 'twittwittwit'; //add your twitter bots name
my $twituser = 'twitterusername'; //add your twitter username
my $twitpass= 'twitterpassword'; //add your twitter password

then execute it with the usual:

jhr@nata2:~$#$ perl twitter.pl

It should output some status and server MOTD info and eventually connect to your channel.

Once connected, you should be able to send an update to twitter by typing:

!twitter update text to send to twitter

If all goes well, an update will be sent to the twitter API and your update will be posted.

The bot is also configured to send an update on channel topic change.
