Twitter tools in Second Life

A colleague wants to know about Twitter tools in Second Life. I tried TwitterBox, which is the one I know about, in 2007. But lately I just leave TweetDeck running while I'm in Second Life, and I don't use any Twitter tools inside of Second Life at all.

So, my questions: Does Twitterbox still work, or has it been broken by a subsequent client update?

Are there other Twitter tools for Second Life, aside from Twitterbox?

Do you use any Twitter tools for SL? If so, which ones do you prefer?

More importantly how did you get your proper name!

I've never used twitter box but I'm sure if you drop Ordinal Malaprop a note or im she will tell you if there are any problems using it.

I paid for it. $50 upfront + $50/yr., iirc. Thanks!

What you use to fix your Twitter when it's broken?

You might look at the SLTweets HUD.

It works great and is described at http://www.sltweets.com/.

Thanks. I was interested in checking this out, also. The links at the SLtweets website didn't work, though. But, I found your vendor. Nice mall too.

I just checked again and the button called "Get SL Tweets HUD" worked fine for me.

It links to a page containing links to SLX, where the HUD is available for 1L.

Oh, to clarify, the avatar delivery link at the site and the SLURL link don't work (the vendor it sends you to is broken).

Might be fun to use this tool although I am not really sure how often. Some people tweet their every move, however. Could be nice if your twitter followers are also in SL, share locations, events.
