Previously I showed you how to tweet from the command line. It’s even easier to follow your twitter network from the command line.

#!/bin/bash

user=twitteruser
pass=twitterpass

curl -s -u ${user}:${pass} ‘http://twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline.xml?count=30′ | xmlstarlet sel -t -m ‘//status’ -v ‘user/screen_name’ -o ‘: ‘ -v ‘text’ -n

This will show you the last 30 tweets in your friends timelines combined. [...]
