#12I've been using this for a while. This lets you effectively search your historic tweets which for me is a killer feature.
Sometimes I think of things I'd like to do with Twitter but I don't do them because it would require writing some custom script. Using t many of these ideas are easy to just do quickly from the command line.

Bitlbee is a good modern alternative. Text support in IRC for OSCAR (AIM or ICQ), MSN, XMPP, Twitter, Skype etc.

#14Termtter has been around for years. It does bad ass things like automate the Twitter OAuth process, stream live updates, and it has terminal colors:

#15A brief plug for my friend's command line tool TTYtter: http://www.floodgap.com/software/ttytter/
super-crazy powerful, has an interactive mode, is scriptable, etc, etc...
Also, I'm glad you are able to manipulate lists in T by just typing names (t list add presidents BarackObama Jasonfinn). This is a _total_ pain on the website where you can only manipulate lists by clicking about 5 buttons per person you want to add/drop from a list. Why can't I just type a list of names??

I also built a similar tool around an year ago, much simpler though (was an exercise in implementing OAuth): https://github.com/ricardobeat/clit#readme

Love the name (though I'm sure many would consider it sexist).

#18So if someone follows me, and I don't follow them back, I become their leader? /me unfollows everyone
on a serious note: Leaders? too cool for school?

I was torn about what to call them. I actually tweeted a request for suggestions: https://twitter.com/sferik/status/193015186045681665
I got some interesting replies but ended up going with "leaders" based on the logic that if someone follows you, you are their leader. Simple and easy to remember.
That said, I'm still open to other suggestions.
