Some useful stuff

• Tinyfiying an url with ur1.ca:

curl -s http://ur1.ca/ -d "longurl=the url" | sed -u -e '/Your ur1/!d;s: *::g;s:<[^>]*>::g;s:^.*Yourur1is\\:h:h:;'

• The status.net api.

• Twitter api.

• Url to have the atom feed of a research on twitter:

  http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=pouet

• IceRocket help you build complexes query on searching twitter and provide an RSS for those queries.

[Bonus] Pipe a RSS to status.net/twitter

You can pipe the output of rsstail to an status.net/twitter account with bti. This is an easy and stable way to post a RSS feed to status.net/twitter.

Here is an example:

rsstail -u http://example.com/rss.xml -n 0 -l -N -z -P -i 30 -Z "[an header]" | bti

Warning, since it reads a RSS, it is very sensible, any change in the title or in the url will create a new post on your status.net/twitter account.
