Installation

1. Extract the contents of the Twitter CLI.zip file into your Windows folder, which is located at:
   C:\Windows
2. Open the Twitter.bat file in Notepad (right-click, then choose Edit) and enter your Twitter user name and password in the appropriate fields:
   set username=YourTwitterUserName
set password=YourTwitterPassword
3. Save the file and close Notepad.

Update Twitter Via Command Line

Now you are able to Tweet via your Windows Command Line:

1. Hit the Windows Key+R
2. Type in the following:
   twitter ""
   Enter your status between the quotes.
3. Hit OK or the Enter on your keyboard.

That’s all there is to it! If you want your update to read: I’m eating over my keyboard and making a mess! You would enter:
twitter "I'm eating over my keyboard and making a mess!"

Notes

• The message must be less than 140 characters, which is Twitter’s limit.
• It’s not necessary to use quotation marks in your update but will be needed if you’re inputting a URL in your message:
  twitter "I just added a great picture to Flickr http://tinyurl.com/6r95ur"
