Linux is very interesting Operating System. One of thing that make it interesting is its command line, that can do so many things for you. Many people love this Linux command line.

As for twitter user, off course we are frequently update our status. And I found it possible to update our status via command line. You just have curl installed on your Linux computer.
Here is the command to update your twitter status :

$ curl -u "username:password" -d "status=your update status" http://www.twitter.com/statuses/update.xml

Replace "your status update" with your status that you wanna be written on your status. Thats it, and your status will be updated. If you wanna make it more simple, that you need to write the command above into a bash script.
