Few weeks ago, I came up with small extension method for the monorail web framework:

   1: public static class RequestExtensions

   2: {

   3:     public static bool VerbIs(this IRequest request, Verb verb)

   4:     {

   5:         if (request == null)

   6:             return false;

   7:  

   8:         return request.HttpMethod.Equals(verb.ToString(), StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase);

   9:     }

  10: }

This makes monorail a little more REST friendly as it is easier to work with http verb.

This small snippet obviously does not justify a full blog post, so I thought – twitter is the place to publish it!

I started looking for a service similar to twitpic for posting code snippets on twitter. Unfortunately I could not find one.

So I decided to create one! I decided it is a good opportunity to learn google app engine and now sniptwit is up!

Sniptwit is simply a site for posting code snippets on twitter. You can login using your twitter account with oauth (so you don’t share your password), paste your snippet, write your status update which can be a description of the snippet and post it to twitter.

Have fun!
