If you’re becoming increasingly concerned about losing valuable World of Warcraft playing-time to take breaks for updating your status on Twitter, then today is your lucky day.

Becoming an essential World of Warcraft plug-in for Twitter users over the weekend, TweetCraft is the latest Tweet dashboard tailored to a specific community. At its most basic, TweetCraft is like any of the many other third-party Twitter clients, allowing one to send and receive tweets while online.

What makes the plug-in shine are its game-related features. At the moment, the client gives players the ability to automatically upload screenshots of their current activities using TwitPic, a feature that as literally as possible answers the question, “What are you doing?”

In the same vein, players can also select options that will enable the program to automatically tweet whenever the player logs in, enters an instance, or attains in-game achievements.

In the constantly connected community that is World of Warcraft, a client like this makes perfect sense for users who want to keep their Twitter profiles always updated. Yet there is no reason why the same idea could not be expanded to other computer games and even console games.

Maybe we should already be expecting a wave of TweetCraft-inspired software to hit the web in the next few weeks.
