Track shipments with Twitter

pb30 has an awesome thing. You can get updates from UPS, DHL, and FedEx on Twitter.

Here are the simple instructions, taken straight from pb30’s page:

Follow @trackthis - Since @trackthis uses direct messages, you must follow it so it can send direct messages to you. @trackthis will follow you back immediately so that you can send direct messages to it.
Send a Direct Message to @trackthis like: 123456789123 New PC - Just send a DM with the FedEx/UPS/USPS/DHL tracking code first, followed by a nickname for the package. Example: 123456789123 Macbook Air
Sit Back and Wait! - We’ll send you a direct message each time your package changes location. You should receive the first message within twenty minutes.
