Hi cnnr. So twitter.com is a website where you can post tiny text updates about what you are doing in a kind of a mini-blog, your inner monologue put on the internet. And your friends can add you as their friends, like the kids do on myspace, and they can see that, for example, you’re drinking green tea and reading your email RIGHT NOW!

And somehow people like it. And then the thing that I wrote is a bit of code to put the latest update that you wrote on your website or blog or whatever.

Hope NY is fun.

I’d say stick with what you’ve got if it isn’t giving you any problems.

The main advantage of my script is that it doesn’t rely on a database, server-side scripting or crons, but you’re getting everything for free with your Wordpress plugin anyway.

Looks good. I’ve been using an RSS plugin (http://rawlinson.us/blog/?p=212) to scrape my latest twits. Would be interested in your thoughts re. pros and cons of one over the other.
