Sending tweets directly from MSN Messenger

[Sudhamay]

I have a very short query here. I have a account on Twitter since a year ago. I have seen some guys sending tweets to my account directly from Microsoft MSN Messenger. Its really surprising for me. Is it really possible to send tweets without login to twitter account? Please let me know how to send tweets from MSN Messenger ?

Yeah, you even can send tweets directly form your MSN messenger account. It is possible with a bot twitonMSN which integrates an API into twitter account and link it to your msn messenger account. TwitOnMSN is a robot based on MSN, no client install needed. Every message you send will be updated as a tweet on Twitter. You will immidieltly receive updates from people you are following.

Yeah, thats correct. I also use TwitOnMSN for tweeting from my MSN messenger and its really very easy to do the same.Here is what you need to do: First, add twitonmsn@live dot com to your contact list. Since MSN limited the number of members in a contact list, you may recommended to add another account of TwitOnMSN like twitonmsnXXX@live dot com. Second, type "signin" and send. You will receive an oauth link for authorization. Click it or just send your username and password to do the same job.

That's it!

TwinOnMSN uses custom emotions to display profile images of tweets posters. It is a keyboard shortcut of a profile image of a poster. If you do not prefer to show custom emotions, please type "display" to switch display mode to no-image mode. You can use it on Windows Live Messenger and other clients, such as Digspy, meebo, etc. You can use Twitter on TwitOnMSN even if your can not access to Twitter service at your country or region.

Using Twitter from MSN:

1. You can visit the website TwitonMSN which will prompt you to add a contact name to your MSN Messenger. The contact is an automated bot which when you log in to your MSN messenger will allow you to connect to Twitter.
2. Just type into MSN Messenger’s chat window whatever you want to. A simple message as in the one shown in the image above is posted as a tweet.
3. The bot also keeps sending you every single tweet on to your messenger chat window.
4. It supports following an username, replying to a tweet and also Retweet. If you drag and drop a picture file into the chat the image is then posted along with a tweet.
5. Even sending a direct message is possible by typing it in the following format “d username content” .
6. For a comprehensive command list type in “commands” and for help type in “help”.

You can also use Twitter IM for the same. It is a small service that allows you to Twitter directly from MSN Messenger or ICQ. It strips your automessages and it comes with a unique email address allowing users to send tweets via email. Very simple to implement, and strangely effective: Simply add Twitter to your IM contact list!
