[Hidden-tech] Twitter-software question

The text editor macro idea sounds easiest to me. I use Textpad(.com).  
The whole operation would take 15 seconds.

That said, I agree that while cutting edge and gimicky, it's still  
gimicky, and seems a little unweildy. Ten pages 140 characters at a  
time comes to like 70 tweets in a row, no?
