twitter.updateStatus is a simplification of the switchAbit post api for store and forward posting to twitter. This function mimics the Twitter api and can be used with existing Twitter libraries by changing the endpoint. User and password are passed using HTTP simple auth or can be passed via query. See the Twitter API Documentation for more information.
