New Deskbar Plugin

Since I’ve been stuck at home and can mostly only type one handed, I decided to work on my Deskbar plugins to try and keep myself busy and forget about the pain in my sholder and back. As a result, I put together a new Deskbar plugin called Wayd(What Are You Doing) that allows you to update multiple micro-blogs at once(twitter, jaiku, etc…). It currently supports Twitter and Jaiku but I hope to add Facebook and Pownce once they have an API available. If anyone knows of other micro-blog services I should include, please let me know in the comments. Since the Deskbar plugin API changed, you’ll need the 2.19+ version of Deskbar for this plugin to work.

    I’m pretty sure that Facebook already has an API =]

    Yeah Facebook does have an API. I signed up for it all ready to implement, but guess what the API doesn’t give you access to setting/changing status. So if I decide to add Facebook, I’ll have to use Facebook mobile and screen scrap, yaay.
