As it says above, Twitterbox is an object which enables one to post to and receive updates from Twitter, when inside Second Life. If you are not familiar with either of those I might suggest, sir or madam, that you click the previous links to further educate yourself.
What would one use it for? All sorts of random chatterings and such, but I myself find it particularly useful for marking the positions of interesting things that I find on the Grid, due to its particularly easy method of marking a SLURL for one's current location. Explorers may find this handy - I might mention here the Not Possible IRL group as an example.

The latest version as of Wednesday 18 April is 0.4. Twitterboxes can be obtained from:
You may find the scripts themselves, including the PHP intermediary thing, in the code section.
The Twitterbox is free to use, examine and distribute, though I would warn you to delete your email address and password from the script before giving a copy to someone else.
Please note that versions of the Twitterbox before the current one may now not be properly compatible with Twitter, which is a rapidly-evolving jellyfish. I am not planning to go through all of my previous code and fix everything, so use these old versions at your own risk.
