Is it possible to change what data is sent to twitter?

I'd have to change the code. I could have made it more flexible (and I will in Cumulus 2) but it was really just a quick hack. What is it that you'd like to see?

It is a cool hack =)
It would be really nice if Cumulus would let me send a string of my choosing with variables to twitter.
Ex:
Current temperature is %temp% and %preassure% and %wind% etc etc

That wouldn't be too hard to do, using a file with the existing web tags. There would also have to be usual boring stuff of providing a configuration option for it, and remembering the setting. I'll definitely do it in Cumulus 2, but I'll bear it mind if I find I'm doing other changes to Cumulus 1.

I've added this to the latest beta (see announcements). I kept it simple - to use, put a file called twitter.txt in the Cumulus installation folder with the text you want, using any of the standard web tags.
