Update: I have been told that the TNotifier app no longer authenticates. This seems to be due to the fact that the library I have used with Visual
Studio is now NOT working. Please bear with me with me will I investigate....

I have just finished the initial creation of an application to monitor my Twitter account for new updates. I already use the GMAIL Notifier app to keep an eye on my gmail account for new messages so I decided to write a similar application to notify me of new updates to my Twitter time line, and so far it's been very useful in letting me know when I get updates so I then only have to check Twitter when I need to.

If you want to give it a go then you can download it from here http://tinyurl.com/cq2e4x (I used TwitterPipe to post it as a Twitter update).

I have just finished putting together the first beta release of a new service I have been working on called TwitterPipe.

TwitterPipe gives you the ability to attach any type of file and add it to a Twitter update so that you can share it with your Twitter friends. It not only allows you to share photos but videos, pdf files, spreadsheets, in fact any document you have on your computer.

As well as the web interface the service has a REST API available. This allows third-party applications to access the service provided by TwitterPipe.

To demo the API I have created an Adobe AIR application that allows you to login and upload files from your desktop, this is also available on the site.

I have now updated Tweedar and created a small "widget" version of the application, it also has a home of its own now @ www.tweedar.com.

I have just uploaded the first version of my Twitter Tweet RADAR (TWEEDAR). You can read more about it at http://www.sbrogers.com/consultancy/node/4, but basically it allows you to select any point in the world using a Google interactive map and then see what people are "Tweeting" about within a given radius that you can set. So it acts like a RADAR for public Tweets from the location that you set up, a MUST for all you conversation voyeurs out that - looking into someone's life anywhere in the world.
