As promised on my last blog post on how to set up Google GPS tracking on your Palm Pre, I will now show you how to “tweet’ your GPS location to a Twitter account so you can track it on Twitter too.

This might be a great way to keep “track” of where your Palm Pre has been.  You could probably even make a GoogleMaps using the Twitter RSS feed to show exactly where your Palm Pre has been traveling in the past.

The folks at Oomlout.co.uk have figured out how to connect an arduino and ethernet module to monitor the search term “Oomlout” and automatically type out the latest tweet relating to that keyword.

It search’s for a term every 10 seconds (in our case ‘oomlout’ although ‘#haiku’ is good fun too). When a new tweet is posted it will proceed to whir to life and type it out (at the same time making us feel like we’re back in the 1970s).

This should be actually a pretty easy project as most typewriters support RS232 communication.  You can also check out their Typewriter Twitter @Oomlout.

See, there’s endless possibilities for Twitter hacks, thus TweetHacking.com was born!

The Twittering office chair “tweets” (posts a Twitter update) upon the detection of natural gas such as that produced by human flatulence. This is part of my commitment to accurately document and share my life as it happens.

TweetStack also lets you import your TweetDeck settings, you can see how to do that here.

According to Mashable, the TweetStack can do other cool stuff like geo-tagging your photos:

TweetStack lacks the beautiful and sleek design of Tweetie, but once you notice that you can create stacks (ie. groups) based on TwitPic (TwitPic reviews) tags, your current location, Twitter friends, and any search term that strikes your fancy, we think you’ll be impressed. Now throw in the fact that tapping a user’s avatar gives you the option to view that user’s profile, create a group, or add the user to an existing group. Oh, and tapping a tweet itself will let you send a reply or dm, retweet it, or add it as a favorite.

Simply send a tweet to your Twitter Popcorn Robot before you leave your work (assuming you live 10 minutes away) and enjoy the popcorn when you get home, all ready to be served.

Does this sound like a cool Twitter robot?

Yes, it’s actually real and William Self(@robedorobotics) has put together an amazing Twitter Popcorn robot using a netbook, USB infrared transmitter, USB-based sensors and controllers.

William also says he will be updating with more features so we will keep our eyes glued to his blog.

Soon, you’ll see our wheeled robots gaining new structure: arms, grippers and maybe even a humanoid torso. We’re not promising a fully capable R2-D2 or Rosie robot. Those would probably cost you $50,000. We are promising good technology and useful robots. Plus fun. Plenty of fun.

Keep up the great work and don’t forget to tip us first @tweethacking on your next Twitter Hack projects.
