Kompoz now offers bi-directional Twitter integration, meaning that you can submit your status and new Kompoz songs to your Twitter followers directly from your Kompoz account, and your Kompoz friends can now see your Twitter stream on your Kompoz profile.

If you already know what twitter is, you can skip past this paragraph. Twitter is a free micro-blogging service that allows users to send "updates" (or "tweets"; text-based posts, up to 160 characters long) to the Twitter website, via short message service (e.g. on a cell phone), instant messaging, or a third-party application such as Kompoz. It's a way to share what's going on in your life (or your virtual life) with your friends, and conversely, to "follow" your friends and see what they are up to. The big idea behind Twitter is that it's easy (you can send quick/short updates from your phone or anywhere), and that it's a centralized (one place to see what John Doe has been up to).

By the way, if you want to follow me on Twitter, I am raf01.

The new Twitter support on Kompoz will send automatic updates to Twitter when:

1. you update your Kompoz status,
2. you create a new Kompoz project,
3. you post a new track to any project.

When twitter updates are posted from Kompoz for new projects or tracks, we'll automatically include a link back to your Kompoz project or track so that your friends can quickly listen to your music. Also, we'll post your last 10 tweets on your Kompoz profile so that the Kompoz community can follow your activity.

To make this all work, go to the More Account Options link on your Kompoz profile. You'll see a new section on that page titled "External Services". Enter your Twitter username and password and we'll do the rest.
