One of the nice things about the Twitter web-interface is that it gives you feedback on the number of characters you’ve typed so far.
Since I use the command-line twitter gem (by John Nunemaker) I miss out on this feature and find myself using echo and wc to make sure I’m not over the limit.
To fix this problem, I’ve written a small, immediate-feedback utility called tweet. It shows you the number of characters typed so far and colorizes them accordingly.
