Twitter in Excel

Have you ever wanted to send and receive tweets right from Microsoft Excel?  Well now you can!  This Excel based Twitter client allows you to read your timeline and post tweets right from within Microsoft Excel.

Here are some possible uses:

  • twitter from work without installing any client software or keeping a web browser open
  • pull your twitter timeline into a pivot table for analysis
  • write a macro to post tweets for you
  • graph your tweets
  • archive your timeline as a .csv file
  • convert your timeline into a .csv file so that it can be easily read by another script
  • keep up with the trending topics around the world in Excel
  • use it as an example of how to write complex applications in Excel

I found this file somewhere online a while ago, translated it into English and made a few modifications.  If you’re interested in trying it out, you can download the file.

That is the coolest program I’ve ever seen. I’ve been trying to write one that would allow the capture of user names. This is fabulous. Thanks for the work
