Hi Raam Dev,

thanks for your detailed descriptions—it seems like a lot has changed since I used this script.

I’m currently using Tweetie for my Twitter needs.

Best,
Julian

I tried the Tweet-script, but it didn’t work (nothing posted to Twitter). I discovered the problem was that Twitterrific actually adds an “Application Password” with the name “Twitterrific” to your Keychain, while the Tweet.scpt AppleScript is looking for an “Internet key of current keychain whose server is ‘twitter.com’”.

To fix the problem, I simply opened Keychain Access (Applications -> Utilities -> Keychain Access) and added a new Keychain entry under the Internet section (expand the Password item on the left and then select Internet and choose File -> New Password Item). I set the Item Name to “http://twitter.com”, the Account name to my Twitter username, and then my Twitter password. After doing this, the Tweet-script worked perfectly.

Also, I have Twitterrific installed (I mostly just use it to get Growl notifications of tweets by my friends) and you said you can’t Cmd + Tab to Twitterrific to post a message. That’s true, but you can “Cmd+Shift+R Tab” to get to the Twitterrific input field.

Simply open the Twitterrific options, click the Window tab, and configure a hot key (I use Cmd+Shift+R) to display the Twitterrific window. Then, once you press your hot key to display the Twitterrific window, simply press Tab and you’re in the input field.

Strange; I got the iQuickTwitter script you referenced to work, but I can’t get this one to work. Not a big deal, I s’pose, as long as one works…

Very cool. You can also use Moodblast to post to Twitter, Facebook and it uses growl notifications as well.

So awesome. Thank you!

Hey, I use Growl’s “smoke” display option, and it gives me the sad little default application to notify me of a successful tweet.

I only mention it b/c I love (LOVE) your icon��I’d like to see it more often. Any idea why it doesn’t show up in the growl?
