Twaiku

Updated: Twaiku is now maintained here.

What do you get when you mashup a bunch of existing Twitter / Jaiku Quicksilver scripts? You get Twaiku! Twaiku is a mashup of the following existing scripts:

Twaiku allows you to simultaneously post to Twitter and Jaiku. The main improvement I’ve done is here is allow you to use Jaiku’s icon set with your posts. Check out the screenshots:

Download Twaiku v0.22
Download the Plazes version here.

Unzip the file and open the Applescript with Script Editor and save it as “~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/Actions/Twaiku” (Create folders as necessary)
Add your jaiku username and personal key (as the password) to the keychain using the name http://api.jaiku.com (you can get your personal key here)
Add your Twitter username and password to the keychain using the name http://twitter.com
Launch Quicksilver and hit “.”
Type in the text you want to say
Hit Tab
Type Twaiku
Hit Enter
Select a Jaiku icon
Click OK

Use this application at your own risk!! I’m not responsible for what happens next!!
