Best of all, there's another application for the iPhone called Boxcar

So it would probably make sense to send those messages as @replies to
users listed in the appender. This would reduce the number of available
characters, though.
Having your phone alert the user is well worth a character or two.
Another way that I forgot would be a twitter account with a private
timeline. Those are not available for searching and can only @reply to
people that are following it. Following must be accepted by the account.
I think this would be sufficient for most cases but something like a
CONFIDENTIAL marker does also make a lot of sense. This would simply be
configured "around" the appender, right?
I was not aware of private timelines. Good to know.
Around the appender? I am not sure what you mean, but among the
various data you pass to the appender, you could pass the name of the
marker (a String) that triggers confidential treatment.
The contents of the tweets could be formatted using a PatternLayout
similar to the way SMTPAppender formats the subject of the outgoing
email message.
How about building a prototype of TweeterAppender?
Since you submitted the idea, I was assuming that you were also
volunteering to do the implementation. Did I somehow misread your intentions?
