Hi,

Not sure if this list likes attachments.

I figured out a way to call the API from Bash directly, which might do
what you want. Depending on what you want. Its kind of cool anyway ;-)

Steps to reproduce:

Get this:
http://acme.com/software/oauth_sign/

Compile it with 'make'

Get some twitter/statusnet creds to Oauth with. The Twitter ones are at:
http://dev.twitter.com/ -> Your apps -> Register a new app

You have to make the app read/write if you want to be able to post.

The attached script posts a tweet and spits out the json reply. You can
just change the API call for whatever it is you want to do and curl
appropriately.

Tested at:

Haven't tried with statusnet cos I don't have any creds to hand...

Cheers,
