A little while ago I introduced you to some command line tools for talking to your Known site.

So, using this, I put together a very quick hack that lets you tweet, via your known site, from the Unix command line.

Because, that’s how I roll.

In .bashrc I added the following:

alias tweet='status.sh https://mysite.com USERNAME APIKEY twitter::TWITTERUSER'

Assuming status.sh is on your path, when you type tweet it’ll let you write a single line of text which will be sent to your Known site and syndicated elsewhere.

Note, due to this bug, you’ll need to be running the latest version of Known for this to work!
