Seattle developer Damon Cortesi has written a great little perl script that will generate your Twitter Stats which you can be make into some cool graphs of using the Numbers app. Here are my current Twitter Stats.
You will need to know how to access a terminal and navigate the OS X filesystem, but after that it just takes one command to run. Mine took a couple of minutes to finnish since it needed to parse 93 pages of Twitter data, which I then just cut-and-past into the Numbers template that Damon provided.
Mike Chelen on 05 Jan 09A 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.
