May also be known as Chlod's Auto Tweeter.
CT (ConsoleTweet) is a Java-based program that integrates with Twitter to send tweets using your console. It requires Java.
ConsoleTweet can be used in CRON tasks to create simple tweets at timed intervals.
Console Tweet uses yusuke's Twitter4J library in order to send requests to the Twitter API
ConsoleTweets works by taking fed arguments and turning it into a tweet, like so:
java -jar cat-latest.jar "Testing Tweet"
or
java -jar cat-latest.jar Testing Tweet
Both will produce the same output, as the program automatically builds the arguments together.
ConsoleTweet also contains a syntax that automatically replaces reserved words to add more functionality and automation to your automatic tweets
NOTE: Objects in (parentheses) are not part of the output

THE PROGRAM IS IN PRE-ALPHA. IT IS BOUND TO BREAK.
THE USER IS LIABLE FOR DAMAGE TO THEIR ACCOUNT IF THEIR ACCESS TOKEN OR ACCESS TOKEN SECRET ARE EXPOSED TO ANYONE BUT THEMSELVES OR TWITTER. THE CREATOR OR THE PROGRAM SHALL NOT RECIEVE ANY CHARGES. A BETTER SYSTEM FOR STORING CONFIGURATIONS IS UPCOMING.
- Integrate more syntax rules
- Singular time syntax (--hour--, --minute--, --second--)
- Create a better time syntax
- Planning on 'insert tweet here by --username-- at date("dateformat")'
- Patch up all bugs
- Fix loopholes
- Create much more secure way of storing keys
