MoodSwing 4 multi-status Quicksilver script has come a long way, baby
If it seems like it was only last week that Brett Terpstra introduced his side project MoodSwing, a clever script that allows users to change their status message across multiple apps with Quicksilver - well, it was. People loved it, so Brett quickly began updating, tweaking and adding a slew of new features and services that MoodSwing could manipulate. The script is now up to v4 with a dedicated page at Brett's Circle Six Design blog, listing out all the features and supported services:- Supports Adium, iChat and Skype
- Supports Twitter, Jaiku and Facebook
- Automatic Qurling of long URLs
- Word Count
- Send current weather (international)
- Send current iTunes track
- Encryption of passwords stored in preferences
- Easy-to-edit defaults, can be overridden by command syntax

I've been using it for less than 30 seconds and it amazes the pants off of me. Thank you Brett.

A menu bar app with a preference pane that has check boxes for which services to update would be absolutely awesome. (I'd rather not mess with my AIM away settings, I use the AIM to SMS IM forwarding which kicks on whenever I set myself as Away.)

I'd love to have a little app that sits in my menu bar which does this, similar to Menuet for iTunes. Sadly, even a really handy script isn't enough to get me to switch from Launchbar to the OSX ricer-ware that is Quicksilver.
