TrackThis: Track Packages Over Twitter (or Email, IM or SMS)
TrackThis is a small project that has been in my notebook of ideas for awhile, and I finally started working on it during the past couple weekends. It’s a simple Twitter service that allows you to track FedEx/UPS/USPS/DHL over Twitter.
After following the @trackthis bot, send it a direct message with the tracking code and a nickname for the package (ex. 123456789123 Macbook Air). Then any time your package changes location the bot will send you a direct message like:
Depending on how your account is set up, you can get the updates over email, IM or SMS (IM and SMS both have a “Direct Messages only” option). For the complete instructions (there isn’t really more to it) head over here. If there’s any problems/questions just contact me.
