Twitter Hacks
This one’s for Steve and Scoble. From fellow twitterite, Martin Broerse, comes this Twitter trick. The hack still in “alpha” stages, but essentially you can store and retreive data twittered to/from designated Twitter friends.
First, you’ll need to add two new friends to your list: qr and rq. Now, send a Direct Message to qr. For example: “d qr blahblah yaddayadda” (without quotes). You can retrieve the information entered for the self-defined variable blahblah by sending a Direct Message to rq, calling upon that variable. For example: “d rq blahblah” (without quotes) would return to you the value of the originally keyed variable yaddayadda.
d qr seattle.taxi 206-555-5555
d rq seattle.taxi
or
d qr licplate.cp YIU 922
d rq licplate.cp
If you’d rather push the data to the public, you merely need to add a “p” at the beginning of your Direct Message to qr.
Like I said, it’s a hack – but quite an interesting one.

Gotta love Twitter’s API… but, I do think they need to follow Jaiku’s example and have the threaded commenting thingy :)
