I can’t rave enough about tumblr. It is a great idea executed well by a small dev team. I wanted my twitter updates to happen more frequently then their feed updates allow. I also wanted it to be formatted differently.

So, I wrote a quick ruby script that grabs a twitter feed and updates tumblr with it. It changes the text to be “status: …” instead of starting with your username. It also links back to the original tweet.

Add your username and password, stick it in your crontab and you should be good to go. You can see the results on my tumble log
