Hello all,
I thought I would tell you all how I use MSN Messenger to update my Facebook Status, which allows me to tell people what I am doing quickly and easily without logging into Facebook and being distracted too much.

OK first of all create a twitter account , if you dont know what twitter is, well its a service that is used to tell people what you are upto, just like the status section in Facebook.

Once you have created your Twitter account the next thing to do is to add an appliaction to your Facebook profile that allows you to update your Facebook status whenever you post an update to Twitter.

This application is called TwitterSync, simply follow the instuctions for TwitterSync and you will have this working in no time.

Now you have your Facebook Status syncronished to your Twitter status, you can post from your mobile phone to twitter using m.twitter.com or desktop widgets or whatever you prefer.

Hello all this is my first package for 2008. I have created a quick XSLT package to allow you to display your latest twitter status’s on your website/blog.

For example here is my twitter page where you can see what upto or thinking.

This package installs the following files:

• bin/CWSHelperTwitter.dll
• xslt/CWS_twitterStatus.xslt
• /usercontrols/Installer/CWSTwitter/cwsTwitterInstaller.ascx

The installer usercontrol cwsTwitterInstaller.ascx is used to modify the /config/xsltExtensions.config
to setup my custom XSLT extension to allow us to modify the strange format of the twitter date format.

The actual package installs the following into umbraco:

• Macro: [XSLT] CWS:Display Twitter Status
• XSLT: CWS_twitterStatus.xslt
