cat > ~/Library/Caches/tn.cache
AAA=`wc -m ~/Library/Caches/tn.cache | awk '{print $1}'`
if [ $AAA -le 144 ]; then
	BB=`cat ~/Library/Caches/tn.cache | /Users/carlos/Code/TTYtter.pl -status=-`;
	/Users/carlos/Code/growl.sh -nosticky "$BB";
else
	/Users/carlos/Code/growl.sh -nosticky "You have $((AAA-144)) chars in excess.";

I use this service in LaunchBar. I just type "TN" on LB to select TweetNow (the name I gave to the service), press enter/space, write my tweet and enter to send.

This version has growl support for notify when the text is too big.

For it to work, TTYtter has to be configured first.
