Tweet through terminal!

I was experimenting with how to make a fast tweet when i stumbled upon an article as to how can one tweet right from one's terminal.
for this you need to install a very small programme called curl and then open the terminal and write:

curl -u yourusername:yourpassword -d status = "your status message" http://www.twitter.com/statuses/updates.xml

and for those who want the easier way out can try for gtwitter but i think it won't work under proxy server, so better watch out !

be free, use open source :)
