Just a quick proof of concept hack..
I modified twitter-cmdline script to fit mon‘s alert specs..
Download twitter-cmdline-1.03 and place it in /usr/lib/mon/alert.d (or appropriate path of your mon installation).
Then grab twitter.alert and put it there too.
Run twitter.pl and give your twitter credentials (stored in ~/.twitterrc the first time it runs). It’s probably a good idea to create an extra twitter account for this.
Now use twitter.alert in your mon config to send alerts in twitter, where people can follow them!

I am really thinking of creating a twitter-like service for system administrators to be used this way.
This service was the reason I created a twitter account :-)

@stsimb:
laconi.ca and a server outside our network(s) seem like a viable start.
seemed buggy to me, testing jisko atm.
