Correct, it's trivial to send to twitter with either BASH (using curl)
scripting or Perl using something like the Net::Twitter CPAN module. Both
routes means literally less than 10 lines of code to do a tweet/dent, and
it works equally well on either Twitter or Identica (same web API).
For me the time consuming part will be integration
with a customer
database and the associated web interface for customers to update
this.
I agree, this is going to mean some fancy footwork! :-)
