I’ve been playing around with a open source .Net Twitter project appropriately named TwitterVB. It’s a .Net library that you import into your .Net application and start sending status updates, pull twitter mentions, trending topics… just about anything you’d want to do with Twitter.

TwitterVB is one of the better libraries compared to others listed on the Twitter API Wiki page: http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Libraries

Note: Because it’s .Net, you can bring this library into any .Net language. I built a quick command line app in C#.

Example code:

static void Main(string[] args)
{

var tw = new TwitterVB2.TwitterAPI();
tw.AuthenticateAs(“twitteraccount”, “twitterpassword”);
string text = “”;

while (!text.Equals(“x”))
{
Console.Clear();
Console.Write(“Send Tweet: “);
text = Console.ReadLine().ToString();
if(!text.Equals(“x”)){
tw.Update(text);
Console.WriteLine(“Tweet Sent – Enter to continue”);
Console.ReadLine();
}
}

}
