How can change the 'from address' when posting via Twitter ?
I'd like to change text and add a custom url with test variables

e.g. sent via Simon > {test name} date etc

The "sent via Simon" text can't be changed. The Simon name is registered with the Twitter service, like Twitterrific and other clients.

However, you can include variables in your tweet text.

txs for your quick response, is it also possible to add /develop new notifiers for Simon ? I currently experimenting with RealBasic and FileMaker Pro; or should I post a new notifier request?

Yes, you can add new notifiers by writing shell scripts or AppleScripts via the Script plug-in.

For completely custom notifiers, I have a Cocoa API that I can provide to approved developers. But RealBasic and FileMaker Pro won't work for that; you'd need to use Xcode with Objective-C and the Cocoa frameworks.
