If you’re still in doubt then perhaps knowing that “Tweet My PC” exists will clear things up. Tweet My Pc is a free application where you can download to integrate your twitter account in doing a couple of interesting things with your pc in a remote location.

Tweet My PC is a free application where you can download here. It’s an application specifically for windows and mac. Once downloaded you can install the application and input some account details which includes your twitter account and email (gmail only). Tweet My PC will function only with an internet connection. It will scan your Twitter Stream for available commands that is recognizable by the application and execute it immediately once detected. Here’s a list of command that you can send to your twitter stream that is recognizable by Tweet My Pc.

1. Lock - locks windows system
2. Physical Memory – Returns the physical memory of your pc
3. Virtual Memory -Returns the virtual memory of your pc
4. IP - return your ip address
5. hibernate - makes your pc in a standby mode
6. Screenshot – takes a screenshot of your desktop and automatically post it to twitpic
7. getprocesslist – emails you a list of running programs with it’s process id which you can use by using the command below
8. kill <process id> – terminates the running program that is assigned with the process id given

10. getfilelist <drive> – returns a list of file in the said drive
11. getfile <filepath> - sends the file as an attachment to your email.

The commands are not case sensitive so you don’t need to worry about letter capitalization. If Tweet my pc  recognized the command and executed it properly then it will reply in your twitter stream that the execution has successfully made.

So how do you control your pc remotely using this? There are some tricks of controlling your pc without directly using twitter. If you have a mobile phone and your country supports mobile twitting then it’s the easiest way to control your pc.Posterous, a blogging platform which supports twitter integration is another trick. Just send an email to twitter@posterous.com with the proper commands and it will directly forward it to your twitter account. Smart phones which supports WiFi can also be used to access directly to Twitter. FutureTweets is a twitter application which you can use to schedule to post a twit in a predetermined time.

The launch of V2 of Tweet My Pc opened up great ideas to further expand pc usage using twitter. I think Tweet My Pc is such a good candidate for an award in open applications. If you really like the software and have some cash to spare, you can donate a portion of it to their official site. ^^ Let’s help Tweet My Pc for it’s improvement.

1. Read more hack – The younger days of blogger blogs will give you the hassle of tweaking the custom html code of your blog. But the new blogger blog has a feature of read more… similar to wordpress. You can add the read more section by adding the <!– more –> comment in the “Edit Html” section of your post editor or clicking the read more editor to the new post editor of blogger.

2. New post editor – One of the things I hate about blogspot is their post editor, it sucks really bad. The new post editor can be used by going to Settings -> Basic -> Post Editor section. The new post editor performs much better than the old one but still it still sucks to me.

3. Title Tag Hack – The title tag hack enables you to have an Search Engine friendly titles. I’ve posted an article here before describing how you can do it. You can check it out here.

4. Wibiya Toolbar – It’s the newest dig I found a couple of months ago and it’s one of my must-haves in my blogger blog. Adding the wibiya toolbar will do the work of adding the recent posts section, visitor notifier, Social bookmarking,Social Network Integration(Twitter,Facebook), language translation and RSS feeds subscription.

5. Google Integrated Search box – You can easily add your own google custom search box now, The widget is available if you click “Add Gadget” in your blog interface. The cool thing about this is that search results are displayed inside your blog and no redirection need.

6. Favicon – Yeah! that’s right the big “B” logo near the address bar and title tab is an eye sore to some. Adding your own favicon makes your blog look professional and cool.

<link href=’REPLACE YOUR IMAGE LINK HERE’ rel=’shortcut icon’/>

5. LinkWithin – One of my favorites too aside from the Wibiya toolbar. This improves your content visibility since the thumbnails of images in your post makes it good looking and thus improving Click Through Rate in your blog.

6. Commenting Systems – Intense Debate and Disqus thus it all for you from managing spams and informing you of new arrivals. The Facebook Connect helps a lot^^
