I wonder if it conforms to Blizzard's EULA since it must have some sort of external app running to manage the gateway to Twitter. Even if it doesn't, I'd hope they'd look the other way (like they do with FRAPS). I'd like to see every MMO have a gateway for communicating to the outside world, even if it is just a one-way bridge. Twitter seems a convenient route for that. @Ninetytwo: That’s pretty cool.

Just as Champions Online announced tweeting in-game, this WoW-tweeting mod (http://tweetcraft.codeplex.com/) got released. Forget Sony's station chat that lets you gab among SOE games -- twitter does provide a medium for actual cross-gaming IM. Provided other game systems are as moddable as WoW, at least. Some are, most aren't. Odd you mention cross-compatibility. Just as Champions Online announced tweeting in-game, this WoW-tweeting mod (http://tweetcraft.codeplex.com/) got released.

I don't even know what to think of it right now. I'm not a fan and not a hater... I'm ambivalent. I recently started twittering to see how/if it’s worth it.
