Tip: Control Twitter and Facebook From Your Email Account

1. Tweet from Gtalk

The first and common way to send a tweet is to tweet from your twitter account after logging into Twitter.com. Another popular method is to use desktop clients like TweatDeck. But some time it is annoying to download the desktop clients. While most of us use Gtalk for chat why not we use the Gtalk as a desktop client to send our tweets?

1. Log-in to your Gtalk.
2. Visit Tweet.Im and sign up there in two steps:

Step 1. Put your twitter account user name and password for authentication.

Step2. Enter the Gtalk or Zabber user name.

3. After signing up successfully you will get a friend request from username@twitter.tweet.im. Accept the request.
4. Start to send your tweets like normal chatting with your friends. Your link will be automatically shortened.

2. Publish your latest tweet in your blog

If you are a blogger then you must want your visitor to see the latest tweet by you. There are about 25 plug-ins as alternative. But I’m always against of using too many plug-in as they make the site slower. Learn here how to add latest twitter update in your blog just using a PHP script.

Steps to meet your purpose:
1. Upload a picture with your preferred dimension.

2. Change the twitter user name and the image name with its path (Highlighted with Red color) in the following script.

<h2><a href=”http://www.twitter.com/techtipsgeek”> Follow @techtipsgeek </a> On Twitter</h2><div style=”width:340px”><div style=”float:left; font-family:Myriad Pro,arial; font-size:14px;padding:5px 0px 0px 81px; min-height:60px;background:url(https://yoursite/img/image.gif) no-repeat;”><?php// Your twitter username.$username = “techtipsgeek”;// Prefix – some text you want displayed before your latest tweet.// (HTML is OK, but be sure to escape quotes with backslashes: for example href=\”link.html\”)$prefix = “”;// Suffix – some text you want display after your latest tweet. (Same rules as the prefix.)$suffix = “”;$feed = “http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=from:” . $username . “&rpp=1”;function parse_feed($feed) {$stepOne = explode(“<content type=\”html\”>”, $feed);$stepTwo = explode(“</content>”, $stepOne[1]);$tweet = $stepTwo[0];$tweet = str_replace(“&apos;”, “‘”, $tweet);$tweet = str_replace(“&lt;”, “<“, $tweet);$tweet = str_replace(“&gt;”, “>”, $tweet);$tweet = str_replace(“&amp;quot;”, “&quot;”, $tweet);$tweet = str_replace(“&amp;lt”, “<“, $tweet);$tweet = str_replace(“&amp;gt”, “>”, $tweet);$tweet = str_replace(“&quot;”, “\””, $tweet);return $tweet;}$twitterFeed = file_get_contents($feed);echo stripslashes($prefix) . parse_feed($twitterFeed) . stripslashes($suffix);?></div>

3. Place the script in suitable position of your sidebar.

You may have to adjust the design to fit with your theme template looks.

How To Remote Control Windows PC and MAC from Twitter lind partners twitter

Twitter, a latest social website has got the attention of the whole world in the short time of its existence. Most of us, use the services provided by twitter in a regular basic. Though our purposes are different some use it to share funny jokes, to share interesting/important links with our friends, and some use it as their own public instant messenger, and last but not the least use of it is broadcasting intimate details of our life. Now you are going to learn a new and interesting feature of twitter. If you forget to shut down your PC while leaving your home or office, or you want to know what you child is doing with your computer or you want to show some one any spacial photo/file, don’t worry at all.You can use Twitter for something even bigger – remotely controlling your PC. You can even remotely take the  screen shot of your desktop.

Control Windows PC by Twitter

To initiate the process first, you have to download an application TweetMyPC. It is an open source application(Freeware) that lets you send commands to your PC via Twitter and instruct it to  restart, logoff, shutdown, download files off the internet and a lot more. Download the latest version of TweetMyPC

After downloading it, install in your PC. Step-by-step screen-shots are given bellow for your assistance.

[Note-TweetMyPC works by listening to a Twitter account for updates. I’d suggest that you create a new Twitter account for this purpose and also keep the updates on this account as private so that no one else is able to read the commands being issued.]
After completing the installation what you have to do is to create a new twitter account. Create a new Twitter  account.
Now Login to your newly created Twitter account. And go to the settings link On the main page.

In the setting page you will find a check box to protect your Tweets. Check it on.

Click on “Save” and you will be asked for you account password, just enter it.

After doing this, run TweetMyPC and setup the application for the first time by giving it the twitter account details.

Now click on “Save and Hide”. It will make the application ready for the job.

After this TweetMyPC is now ready and will continue to run in the background. Whenever any command  will be sent through the twitter account that you set, that will be executed in your PC. TweetMyPC listens commands from your Twitter account in very one minute. So send a command to your PC  is log-in to the Twitter account that TweetMyPC is listening to and write the command as a status update.

TweetMyPC will respond back with the message that it is work station is logging off(in this case) . The responses from TweetMyPC look something like this.

Previously, I recommended you to create a new twitter account for this purpose and suggested  you protect your tweets while creating this account because the responses come as updates to the same Twitter account and so everyone will be able to see them. You wouldn’t want anyone to look screen shots of your desktop. Yes, TweetMyPC can also take a screen shot of your desktop and upload the picture to Twitpic if you want to know what exactly is happening on your computer while you’re away.

Some Useful Commands:

Now I am going to share some other important and very useful commands that TweetMyPC supports. Those are

reboot, hibernate, getfilelist,  getfile <filepath>, standby, hibernate, screen-shot (to take the screenshot of your remote computer), download <url>(to download a file to your PC when you  are away).Custom Command(If you manually want to create a commandthen it is useful.just choose a command and select a fileto run ) 

Control MAC from Twitter

Same as TweetMyPC in windows PC, in case of MAC you can use the free application TweetMyMac to control your Mac. It also allows  you to shutdown and restart  your computer,open a torrent, take a screen shot, and more.

In this case, the process is smiler to the previous one, i.e in case of windows PC. Here also You are recommended to use a fresh twitter account.

To initiate the process, at first download TweetMyMac application and install it.

secondly, create a new twitter account. Protect it by changing account setting like previous one.

Run TweetMyMac application and fill up it with twitter details like you did for Windows. Now it is ready for the job and after that it will continue to run in the background listening for commands on the twitter account that you set.

Commands for TweetMyMac

shutdown(Shutdown your Mac. Will NOT save any open files);restart(Restart your Mac.Will NOT save any open files); logout(Logout of your Mac. Will NOT save any open files);sleep(Sleep your Mac); screenshot(Get a screen shot ofyour Mac.
