Here’s a handy tip that not a lot of people know about. There is a Skype robot which allows you to post to your Twitter account from within Skype, and it even works on the 3 SkypePhone. Here are the simple instructions:

1. Add twitter4skype as a contact.
2. Type the following as a single chat message to twitter4skype:
   /account (shift+return)
   yourtwitteraccountname (shift+return)
   yourtwitteraccountpassword (shift+return)
3. The system should return: twitter4skype Registration complete!
4. The next time you write a chat message to twitter4skype, the entry will appear on your account and you’ll receive your friends’ twitters in Skype.

Another useful way of using the free Skype IM facilities on the 3 SkypePhone.

Please note, this service (as best we can tell) is not provided by either Twitter or Skype, and so you are providing your Twitter account details to a third party, who UK Gadget Blog do not endorse in any way. Make you own mind up, before using this service.

Thanks to Robert at pacificIT for the content, and 3mobilebuzz for alerting us to it.
