		<description>Correction: After &quot;Tiny example:&quot;, it is supposed be:

&gt; TheSum  if (TheSum != 100) tweet(’O-oh! @Ehva must look for the needle in the haystack’) else tweet(’Happiness!’)</description>

		<description>If you feel an urge to, you can automatically express your feelings on Twitter in this way, based on your results in R…

Tiny example:

&gt; TheSum  if (TheSum != 100) tweet(’O-oh! @Ehva must look for the needle in the haystack’) else tweet(’Happiness!’)

http://twitter.com/Ehva/statuses/2220116077

had I had the data
&gt; TheSum &lt;- 50+50 # No2
the tweet would express another feeling :)

Note: I name the function “tweet” instead of “update”.

@Ehva

(PS: Terribly sorry about those previous comments with missing lines!)</description>

		<description>I&#039;m not sure why the trackbackometer didn&#039;t pick this up, but Dave over at Revolutions blogged about this as well: http://blog.revolution-computing.com/2009/06/tweeting-from-r.html

yeah, I hate formatting links in comments. damn</description>

		<description>jebyrnes, I banged around for an hour or two trying to get the &quot;posted from R&quot; (actually I wanted to make it say &quot;Posted from R, Bitches&quot; because I am rude like that)  to appear instead of &quot;posted from web&quot; There are lots of examples online of how to set the &quot;source&quot; parameter so that the source application text is changed. Only after wasting hours did I discover that the twitterfuckers have discontinued that feature. I found that tidbit in the FAQ: http://apiwiki.twitter.com/FAQ here&#039;s the quote:

&quot;How do I get “from [MyApp]” appended to updates sent from my API application?

We now recommend developers use OAuth to perform authentication with the API. When applications use OAuth, Twitter automatically knows the source of status updates. We are therefore able to append source attribution (from &quot;[MyApp]&quot;) to tweets. If you would like tweets from your application to recieve a source parameter, please register an application and implement OAuth authentication. We will automatically include your application as the source for any tweets sent from your application.

We originally allowed applications to create a source paramter for non-OAuth use but that has been discontinued. Applications pre-OAuth source parameters will remain active, but new registrations are no longer accepted.&quot;

I was lead astray since there are so many examples online that use the &quot;source&quot; tag. Grrrrrr.</description>

		<description>That&#039;s actually quite useful.  One can setup a script that will take a loooong time to finish on a server, and have it tweet you with results as they come out (or when it is done).  This could also be quite useful for a company who is getting constantly updated data, and wants to tweet something to its client/userbase when the daily/hourly/whatever data is munched.

Now if only there was a way to make it say that it was posted from R instead of the web....</description>

		<description>Neat! The first thought that came to mind for using RCurl was pulling data of the internet directly to analyse, but then it could probably be more efficiently done with other scripting languages to munge the data and thrown into R for analysis.</description>
