nice new feature with the “Flecks(1)”…

Thanks Uri! Its the new WordPress Plugin. The same functionality will be added to the Fleck Add-on for Firefox too. I’m testing the new Add-on right now. Works great…

I find this very interesting, I would help :)

Very good Justin! I have just registered the domain and will send out the FTP data to whoever wants to work with me…

If you still need a webdeveloper to work on the project, send me an email!

Sure wanna help, but I guess you are a bit too late:
http://mail2twitter.com/
http://www.rss2twitter.com/

So hurry up and throw your version online as it will out do mail2twitter.com

[...] looks like a pretty cool project getting started by an OpenIdea. The basic idea is to use MailTwitterPHP, which is a email to Twitter gateway. Looks like this [...]

Well sign me up, home for two weeks and I can help!

twitter via email? brilliant! just signed up, thx!

Thanks Thomashan: and the notifications are cool too!

I left this comment on the Twittermail contact page, but I thought I’d post it here as well.

Twittermail.com is my prefered service over mail2twitter.com and EmailTwitter.com.

But EmailTwitter.com has some handy features I’d like to see in Twittermail

1. limit friends feature to one friend or a selection of friends
2. send a direct message
3. receive a direct message

Hi,

please consider using OAuth for the Twitter authentication, it’s a very bad habit of asking users for their password of another site.

More info on oauth and twitter can be found at http://oauth.org and http://twitter.com/oauth

I’m trying to set up a system so that I can get an SMS when a webpage updates and I’m trying to use TwitterMail as a part of this system, but there’s a problem.

1. I’m using FollowThatPage.com to track a webpage.
2. When there’s an update it sends an email to my GMail bot account.
3. My GMail bot has a filter to autoforward the email to my TwitterMail bot account.
4. My TwitterMail bot account updates my Twitter bot.
5. With my personal Twitter account I subscribe to my Twitter bot to get the update SMS’d to me.

I believe there’s a problem at step 4 and here’s why:
1. I’ve tested the GMail filtered-autoforward to another account and it works.
2. I’ve sent test emails to my TwitterMail bot address, my Twitter bot updated and I got the SMS.
3. My Twitter bot will not show updates from TwitterMail only when GMail auto-forwards =(

Can you help?

Ben

I can’t see why this doesn’t work, but you can make it more simple without using Twitter.

Monitor page using Feedwhip, this generates an RSS feed, then convert this to SMS delivery using Pingie, Rasasa, Zaptxt, or the many others.

Or what about Teleflip, ipipi, for email to SMS.

Just wanted to say…

Thanks for creating TwitterMail!

@Ben Bradley:

A simpler approach might be…

Use RSSFWD.com to subscribe to the web page’s RSS feed by email.

But enter the email address of your SMS service…. like 2125557818@att.com

This way, you will receive once a day updates from the web page’s RSS feed, via SMS message.

Hello:

I would like to register more than one e-mail account, at least 2.

Best Regards.

Looks like this page is maybe a little dated, but was wondering if the ability to recieve tweets from your friends list will become a feature.

I am going to be creating a custom email client with twitter (as a playful test) for my me.at.travismccrea.com email address…

Basicaly redirect me#travismccrea.com to abcdef1234@twittermail.com then have my updates set to privet. Then have a way of displaying my twitterfeed in a more “inbox” style.

The only challenge I see, is getting the reply to field taken care of.

Pointless? Yes.

But how many other people will have twitter based email accounts?
