there's an out-twitter script i use for posting to twitter. it's nice, as it means you can send something to twitter without the risk of being distracted by a browser.

i added an alias for it, "twit".

so now you can type, for example:

PS C:\>"trying out stack overflow" | twit

and if successfully lodged, it will return an integer that identifies your post.
