While working on lifestyleapps<\/a> I have been asked a couple of times, if it would be possible to report your weight by sending an SMS from your phone. This is already possible and I have been using it from my iPhone 3G for a long time.<\/p>\n

The trick is to associate your Twitter account to your lifestyleapps account and set up your Twitter to accept SMS. In order to report your weight you need to follow @reporting<\/a> which is the lifestyleapps Twitter account and by following this (and it will follow you back) it\u2019s possible to send a direct message to avoid everyone having to see your weight.<\/p>\n

This is the screen to associate your Twitter account in lifestyleapps<\/p>\n

\"Associating<\/p>\n

In order to send your weight you simply enter<\/p>\n

d reporting weight 82.4\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
This will report your weight as \u201c82.4\u201d kg and insert it for todays date. You might shorten the message to<\/p>\n
d reporting w 82.4\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Lifestyleapps will check messages sent to @reporting each minute and see if an associated lifestyleapps account exists for that Twitter handle. If that\u2019s the case, the weight entry is inserted into your lifestyleapps account.<\/p>\n
If you are on an iPhone you might be interested in Twpie<\/a> which is an upcoming application allowing you to send similar tweets fast. It does this by storing recently sent tweets and order these by usage count and last updated date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
