Twittergation needed

Twitter went from being “why would I use this?” to “hmmm, look how many of my friends are using it” to “why doesn’t this integrate easily with anything I use?”

The closest is via SMS, but that can be costly for how often updates happen. What I would like to see:

1. Better integration with current IM clients, especially the open source ones I use: kopete and adium
2. Better integration with email clients - send an update via email for example

What I primarily want:

1. Updates sent to what I am using ( e.g. my IM client when I’m logged in )
2. Ease of sending a twitter update from what I am using ( see email example above )

All this of course means I’ll need to examine the Twitter API to see what I can do about resolving this.

openSUSE More

After three months, openSUSE is here to stay. On my home desktop that is. It has totally replaced Kubuntu for my preference. The quality documentation is one shining point for me. Yes, I actually read documentation. The tight integration between applications is another. Kubuntu may eventually reach this level, in a about 6 - 10 years.
