Update Twitter Status From Opera Address Bar
Thursday, 24. July 2008, 21:44:36
Just add a new search engine to your Opera and configure as below.
Then type
into your address bar.
*Tips*
1.According to the twitter API documentation, the posting status has to be encoded with UTF-8, but I can do it with iso-8859-15, which Opera writes to search.ini by default.
There was a slight change on the API, apparently. You have to do the above with UTF-8. Since there is no GUI way to do it on Opera, the easiest way is to right click on Twitter's Status update field and choose "Create Search...", then input the above!
2. The callback will be an XML data, which will be shown ugly-ly in your Opera.But if you set the default view as "mobile" (or go to http://m.twitter.com once) then the xml page will be directed automatically to your friends' timeline!
**UPDATE 2008-12-19**
Try this UserJS to redirect the XML page to twitter home.
But you need to enable opera:config#opera:config#Always Load User JavaScript
**TILL HERE**
3. OperaAddressBar is now officially supported as a Twitter client.
Then type
tw blah_blah_your_status_blah_blah
into your address bar.
