SecondLife Twitter Scripts

Writing by admin on Wednesday, 14 of March , 2007 at 5:14 am

I have recently been using the social networking tool Twitter which is one of the hot hot topics that everyone visiting SXSW seems to be using.

The tool is based on the concept of “what are you doing now?”. A user can type this information into a web form, Googletalk IM, text message in a cell phone and more recently through several scripts available in SL which not only send your current twittering through a private channel, but also enable you to recieve and parse out your twittering friends information “in-world” through chat.

Pretty impressive!

You can “follow” friends on Twitter in order to be notified of what they are doing (or wish you to know) and similarly people can “add” you in order to follow your musings. This really is proving to be a powerful networking tool and even politicians are now dipping their toes into twittering to keep their electorate in touch and up to date, again powerful stuff!

The most recent script I have been using is made by the SL avatar Ordinal Malaprop, which even twitters SLURLS into your Twitter time-line. One other script I have used is made “in-world” by Koz Farina, which is a HUD.

If anyone else is using/making a Secondlife Twitter script do post a comment about it here, or if you are Twitter user tell us how you use your Twitter in conjunction with SL.
