It was for me not possible to find by Google, to many different widgets around Twitter.

I want to have on my site a pre filled textarea like

_________________________________________________
Just visiting "Blue widget test"
http://www.example.com/2010-blue/widget-test.htm
_________________________________________________

[SUBMIT to Your Twitter feed]

The user should be able to edit the textarea
and to send ths to his Twitter account.

Possible?
How to do it?

That's easy, you just drop into Linux and execute the following:

curl --connect-timeout 10 -u TWITTER_ACCOUNT:TWITTER_PASSWORD -d status=\"Just visiting Example.com\" http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml

That basic format works for me, you may need to tweak it for your purposes.
