Web 2.1

If you know about the Qwitter service, then you may also know what people say about it – that it plain doesn't work. So for my first Twitter app, I decided to make one that does.

I have been made aware since then that there is also Twitdiff, although I haven't tried it at time of writing.

If you don't know about Qwitter, it's a service that monitors your Twitter followers and emails you if someone unfollows you. My app currently tweets the notification instead, so everyone will know you've been qwit.

I'm not offering my app as a public service [yet] I knocked it up in 2 hours and if you know what you're doing with a LAMP set-up you can download it and run it yourself.

I've knocked up a really simple command line tool for interacting with the bit.ly API.

It's simple because:

1. The output is currently pretty raw
2. The bit.ly API doesn't actually do very much
