Are you caught up in the Twitter craze? It's a program akin to an away message or status update, telling people what you are doing (or, at least, what you want people to think you are doing). Self-proclaimed code / tea / etc. man Duncan Mackenzie has found a way to tie in his love of Twitter with his Xbox 360 gamertag.
With just a few quick installs and a computer left on, the Xbox Twitter will check your gamertag status every few minutes and update your Twitter account to reflect any updates. Last time we checked, Mackenzie was playing Crackdown.
The program is still in early stages and many customizable options are promised in the future. Still, if you're the kind of Xbox 360 player that just has to tell the world what you're up to, this is for you.

Hello,
It's a nice application.
I have created a full live integration with twitter for the Xbox.com Community Developer Program.
Trixie interviewed my about it recently on the gamer spotlight
The howto can be found on http://www.xboxusersgroup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=70298
The demo is on http://twitter.com/stonyarc
Cheers

Yeah, Stony has had something like this. I'm part of XUG. It's been around for a couple of weeks. If you are looking for some of the best Live integration into a website head over to XUG. They are probably one of the most advanced sites when it comes to Live integration.

Stony, I used the XUG twitter app a couple weeks ago and liked it. Is there a way to configure what is displayed? I'd rather it just say "Playing Crackdown on the Xbox 360" than all the detailed info like my gamertag or "idling" etc?
Thanks, and great app.

Yeah, the PHP Behemoth of Xbox Users Group (XUG) did this a while ago with some great results, just like XUG's GoogleMap Gamertag Integration and so much more, I believe he's around 40 different GamerTag Applications at the moment and he still will not give up.

You can indeed configure to only show your online actions and not your offline.
Just visit the MyLive and you can configure it there.
