Description: console Twitter client
 A client for the microblogging service Twitter. The difference with other
 clients is that this is a 100% text-based command line, yet fully functional
 application. 
 
 In interactive mode, it is a fully interactive client with asynchronous
 background updates and commands. It supports ANSI colour, hashtags and Twitter
 Search. 
 
 From the command line, use it to update your Twitter in shell scripts, from
 cron, and so on. TTYtter is extensible and you can run it in daemon mode to
 make your own Twitter bot.
