Dan,
Sorry, I can’t make the source available now – but I’ll let you know if that situation changes. There’s no particular magic – the MC API is very small and (mostly!) correctly documented in MSDN. If you use mc2 to generate some .c2r files from existing scheduled recordings you’ll have a working starting point.
What’s the advantage of using twitter over email as the input source? It’s certainly convenient to have an email output.

This sounds great. Is the source code available? I wouldn’t mind seeing how this is done. In theory it shouldn’t be too hard to use Twitter or something as the input source, as opposed to email.

Fantastic. I’ll give this a try tonight!
