Have been doing some research twitter does have a REST interface. up until august it would have been a simple task to update via this interface. but now security has been increased and the twitter api uses a oauth authorisation method this looks quite a complex task to implement this..... any ideas ??? this would be an excellent thing to implement and worth the effort as any alarm or condition could be sent as a tweet or indeed a tweet could be displayed as a screen message. I am an electrical engineer not a programmer so I think I will need a little help with this. all information is available from twitter on the oauth interface any ideas or help gladly received. Nigel

Hi is there any script that could send a status report to twitter. the idea is that non critical but operational events could be tweeted rather than emailed. this would enable more users to see what the factory is doing without regular account maintenance on the daqfactory server. I have thought of using one of the email to twitter email services but would rather have daqfactory send directly if possible. any thoughts ? Nigel
