Post to Twitter via the terminal

ShamanTears has
a really geeky tip on updating your Twitter status via the terminal. What you need is cURL. You could search your package manager for it (be it YAST, Apt, or something else) and install it. Afterwards, you just need to do this:

curl -u yourusername:yourpassword -d status=”Your Message Here” http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml

Ain’t that geeky or what?!
