Update Twitter Automatically from Nike+ Using Twiike

PRLog (Press Release) – Oct 07, 2008 – SAN JOSE, CA - Running and training this fall just became more fun and socially connected with the launch of Twiike (www.twiike.com), a free service that updates a user's Twitter account with their newly logged runs whenever they sync their iPod nano to the Nike+ website.

Twiike enables runners to post the distance, pace and total time of their runs to their Twitter account automatically and even re-post past runs with a quick click of the mouse.  Twiike helps users to share and compete with old friends and new on one of the world's largest social stages in Twitter.  

"Twiike is a great and simple way to keep my friends in the loop and claim bragging rights when I run.  I created it to fill the gap between the awesome features present in Nike+ but not yet connected to the Social Web." says creator Jason Wiener.
