WiiOperaSDK brings Twiiter, a Twitter-like program, to Wii. http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/newsArt.cfm?artid=18174 Twiiter, the newest section of WiiOperaSDK.com, is a free service based on
Twitter that allows users to send each other messages through their Wii consoles.
In order to use Twiiter you start by creating an account that includes a Wii friend code. Then you send a Wii message to twiit@wiioperasdk.com and the site then registers your system. When your console receives a confirmation message, you are ready to start posting. This allows for any registered user to send Twiiter messages that are posted as mini-blogs for everyone to see. It also offers the opportunity for users to create custom RSS feeds, while non-members can view all recent activity.
This service has only been announced for Wii users. However, there is certainly a possibility that this service could come to the DSi Opera browser.
After several weeks of beta testing, a new section to WiiOperaSDK.com has been opened for owners of the popular Wii console. This project, called "Twiiter", is modeled after Twitter but made just for the Wii. Twiiter is a free Wii-centric bloglet website that allows members to send messages from their Wii consoles that post for everyone to see. Members can create uniquely customized RSS Newsfeeds to keep up with friends, and non-members can view an RSS Newsfeed of all recent activity.
To set up for twiiting, simply sign up at http://twiiter.wiioperasdk.com with a Wii System Code (Anyone with a HullBreach Online account is already a member.), then register the Wii Message Board with twiit@Â…. Once NintendoÂ’s server accepts registration, any future emails from the Wii post to Twiiter with the appropriate member name. Posts can include HTML rich text, several IRC-style commands, and 20 different smilies. Other features of the website include custom avatars, member subscriptions, an RSS Newsfeed of recent posts, and unique customized RSS newsfeeds for each member.
Also in the works are alerts emailed right to the Wii Message Board, customized website skinning, and SOAP Web Services for remotely creating accounts, filtering posts, and more. Depending on the capabilities of the Nintendo DSi, a mobile version of Twiiter may come later for posting messages on-the-go.
