Hoot is inspired by Tw****r , and allows you to post bursts of erudite wisdom in bursts of 151 characters or less. What separates Hoot from Trade Chat is the ability to comment on hoots, and to post current status. Mousing over a hoot by someone will reveal their name, level, class, sex, the status they posted, location, and recent kills (see the picture).
To begin, type /hoot or bind a key to "Show Hoot Window".
This is still very much a beta release. Error reports and suggestions are very welcome.
