Thanks for sharing. Code Additions: import math,random,time #Random Sleep to trick Twitter Servers time.sleep(random.randint(1,6)) Very good - had to add a random delay to ensure Twitter did not remotely shut off.

Yeah, I have an Identi.ca account, and maybe I should set up to post there first and then automate a post to Twitter in turn. I guess I'm going with Twitter purely for network effects, and it's all vaporous enough that I'm not concerned about it at the moment. (But maybe should re-think this and use Identi.ca as my primary account out of principle.) Hi, Bruce!

Consider me surprised ;-) Ha, I would have thought you would be using Identi.ca instead of Twitter. Consider me surprised ;-)
