The idea is to think about Twitter as a Git repository. So you can commit your status and view your friends commits in the log. Just for fun to see how far this can go!

For more information you should have a look at the glitter project page.

But basically you use it just like Git … but for Twitter :)

    SUCCESS. Switching from Jacc to Jay removed another bottleneck. Yecht is now
