Severe Weather Tweet Creator
« on: August 19, 2009, 07:58:46 PM »
Hey! I created a little program I thought some of us could find useful...a Severe Weather Tweet Creator. It's a simple program that lets you fill in what warning type it is, what time it expires, and what county it's in effect for. Then you hit "Tweet it!" and it will combine all the info into a small sentence. Then, just copy and paste into Twitter.

Of course, this is the first time I've released this, so it is in beta. If you have ANY issues, please reply here to tell me. If you want the source code so you can make a program like this, I would be more than happy to hand it over. It's a mere 35 lines and is in Visual Basic 2008. Enjoy!

NOTE: This version is outdated. Do not download this version. It is kept strictly for historical purposes and will be removed October 31, 2009.

I'll be able to test the applications once I am home from work...
