Twitter appears like a simple yet pervasive service but I'm glad that I can tweet while playing World of Warcraft. I have screencapture featured in my latest tech news episode at Tech Conclave. http://www.techconclave.com/episode-10-chrome-os-microsoft-office-2010-steve-ballmer-with-windows-7-twitter-for-world-of-warcraft-and-cali-lewis-of-geekbrief-tv/ The add-on worked flawlessly.

While you may not think it's complex, I'd really like to understand how you plan on showing Twitter avatar images inside World of Warcraft. Why? Because Warcraft only supports BLP (proprietary) or TGA images. We had to write code based on the TGA specification to dynamically convert JPGs/GIFs/PNGs to the exact specification TGA image that Warcraft requires. In fact, just converting the images isn't enough, Warcraft requires the images to have both the height and width be sized to powers of 2 (ex: 48x48, 64x64), so you'll have to dynamically resize the images. Thanks, -Dan I doubt you could implement this in 3 seconds.

Without support for realtime tweeting, this seems about as convenient as alt-tabbing over to a Twitter app. I wish I could look down my nose at the idea of this app, but I'm less than six months removed from being a WoW geek myself.
