Thanks for hijacking my thread! ;)

Seriously, though, how would your library work for twitter?

It seems that the encoding process creates texts much, much larger than the original message.



TweetFS uses the SeqTweet library, which takes care of sequencing the tweets for you. Specifically, see the _list_to_twitter method: https://github.com/workmajj/seqtweet/blob/master/seqtweet/se...

One of the use cases of TweetFS is to use Twitter as a 'dead drop'. You'll generate a lot of tweets by doing that, but there's no harm done.

I don't think I hijacked your thread. The other comments also discuss textual steganography.


Thanks I'll look more into how TweetFS works.

I was just kidding about the hijiacking comment; don't people know how to interpret emoticons anymore? :D


I think the problem is that unlike ":)", too often people use passive-aggressive ";)"s, not meaning them in the friendly way they were originally intended but with a slightly bitter aftertaste.

But this is getting a bit off-topic I suppose... :)
