Dexter Industries have used their WiFi sensor to send a Tweet straight from the NXT over WiFi!
It uses the Arduino Tweet Library relaying site to send them which is really, really cool! I am so going to rebuild TwitterTattle to do this. No more tethering needed! This is fantastic.
The code for this will be available very shortly, it’s undergoing some additional documenting.

This takes the good old “Hello World” program to a whole new level.
“Hello Tweeting world!”
On an unrelated note, I’m impressed by Xander’s design for Bot Bench so far. Marvin the Paranoid Android is pointing helpfully towards the RobotC site, and there’s a smiley face at the bottom of the page, hiding. I would suggest having Marvin point at the Bot Bench title, or to lower the search box to line up with Marvin’s finger. Just a suggestion.
That is amazing, can people get hold of the code? I wonder what other libraries you could use
Take a look at my program “NXTweet” it is usable directly out of NXT-G to enable the NXT to tweet…
