AppleScriptTweet v1.0 ©2010 Jim Mitchell
http://jimmitchell.org/projects/applescripttweet/

The script requires installing the “twurl” rubygem — a Twitter-friendly version of the Unix curl — in order to operate properly.
Point your browser to and carefully follow the directions in the “Read Me” section.

BE ADVISED: I will politely decline all support requests for installing/using twurl since it is not my code…
