As you know Twitter is a type of social network, micro blogging and it is very famous. Since mostly I spend my time in text-mode and I also want to tweet something without switching to GUI, I found a great application for Twitter. The name of application is ttytter and by default is available on Ubuntu repository. Therefore you can install it easily with the following command,
$ sudo apt-get install ttytter
Two useful commands which are used in this application respectively are /refresh
and /exit
.
/refresh
is used to refresh your Twitter page to see new tweets and obviously /exit
is utilized to exit the application.
The reason that /
is used before command is to distinguish between tweet and command. If you type for example refresh
without /
is assumes that it is tweet and the application tweets refresh
word.
More information can be found in ttytter man page.
Enjoy tweeting in Linux console.
