How do you create a link (<a>) that will send the user to Twitter and auto-populate the status field with some text? I've clicked links like this before, but not sure how it's created.

A: 

Point the link to http://twitter.com/home?status=some_text

Yup, that works. Thanks!Also, I figured out that underscores don't work to produce spaces, they will produce actual underscores in the status update. You can use "%20" between characters to produce spaces in the status update.

the url should be encoded. The '+' also will produce a space.
