I wrote a WSH script, skype2twitter.js, which allows you to post your mood text set on Skype client to Twitter. After setting your username and password of Twiter, just run it. Then, the script checks your mood text, and posts it to Twitter if changed.

Be sure that now it just only posts the mood text to twitter, that is, it doesn't synchronize the mood text and the status on Twitter, which can be updated from Web, IM or the other various places. I expect someone to enhance it to enable to do it.

To tell the truth, what I did with the script is just to mix this script and another one. Thank to them!
