Did you know there are actually three programs for Twitter using the Linux system that are rated at the top of the list and must have's for any Linux user? They are below. This clients are free or have a nominal charge. Links have been provided by clicking on the client name.
Qt Twitter Linux is a barebones KDE client developed with Qt and C++. Since it was built using Twitter's APIs, messages sent via this tool appear instantaneously in Twitter's timeline as if they were sent directly from the Web-based interface (Great for quick messages).
Twitux is a Twitter client designed especially for the GNOME desktop. It has several basic features, including direct messaging, notification of friend updates, timeline auto-update, and a system tray icon. gTwitter is a GTK+-based app that lets you read both the public and your friends' timelines and, of course, post to Twitter. You can adjust its refresh rate, save images from others, and choose how you want Tweets to be displayed.

Simple but suitable example using BASH + ZENITY:

#!/bin/bash LANG=uk_UA.UTF-8 # conver locale UA to unicode POST=$(zenity --title "My Twitter bot" --entry --text "Ð’ Twitter:" --width 500) #Getting data len=`echo "$POST" | wc -c` # getting text length if ; then zenity --error --text="String too long: $len chars" # if more than 140 chars POST=$(zenity --title "My Twitter bot" --entry --entry-text "$POST" --text "You have $len chars, should be less:" --width 500) #return to edit fi

TEXT="$POST" #You can add additional options to this text

curl --basic --user login:password --data status="$TEXT" 'http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml' -o /dev/null | zenity --progress --title "Sending to Twitter" --text="$TEXT" --auto-kill --auto-close

#Sending

zenity --info --title "Done" --text "$TEXT - length: $len chars added to twitter"

Burg, I believe you are looking at twitter client. You can look at discussion at http://www.linux.com/feature/133001 There is a big choise of clients. If you have GNOME desktop - Twitux is the best choise
