Luckily, there are often ways of consolidating the functionality of these standalone clients into much less clutter-prone solutions.

This mashup is not a replacement for your Twitter client by any means, but you if use Skype as a messenger a lot, it may be a convenient way to quickly update or receive Twitter messages, without having to fish through your pile of open windows. So here goes:

  1. Add twitter4skype as a contact in your Skype account
  2. Send this chat message to twitter4skype:
    /account (shift+return)
    yourTwitterName (shift+return)
    yourTwitterPassowrd (shift+return)
  3. Then your should receive a reply saying that your registration is complete

That’s it! The next time you send a tweet from Skype, it should be forwarded to your Twitter account, and you should receive messages.
