Twitter while being in World of Warcraft

ImageA new addon has been released for World of Warcraft called "Tweetcraft". With this addon you can send and receive Twitters while playing World of Warcraft as well as uploading screenshots.



The addon called tweetcraft lets you use twitter while being ingame. It shows you incoming and outgoing tweets as well as replies you can follow by just loading up the addon and click a few buttons. In addition to that you can also upload screenshots right away but with this not being enough, it can also automatically tweet when you login, enter an instance or get an achievement.

Twitter has grown to probably one of the most used internet services also being use by several Hollywood stars tweeting around the world wherever they are. Now if you want to follow that during your World of Warcraft gaming experience, you can do so with this addon.

Yet it's reported that it is unclear whether this violates the Terms of Use but the creator writes, "As far as we know, no. We do not do any internal memory reading or other hacks to the Warcraft client. You could argue that it's possible to follow a Twitter user that would add advertising in-game which would violate the addon policy for in-game advertising, but the onus is on the user of TweetCraft to ensure the people they friend don't write messages (Tweets) that violate Warcraft's AddOn policy. In short, it's up to each person to ensure they're following Warcraft's terms of use."

The addon could now be used by the big guilds to spread the word about their newest PvE achievements by the second they get them. Check the video below for the features.
