Inspired by Scripting Twitter with cURL, I'm trying to make a command line app in C, used to update my Twitter status. I'm not really sure how curl works in this case... I guess by appending the newly created status to the XML. My question is: how to implement POST in C (libcurl is not used)? Maybe just by using networking functions fr...

I can't find any explanation for this ANYWHERE. Part of the value of a twitter account is a low following:follower ratio (at least it's correlated with high-profile twitter accounts).
