+[Twirssi][] is a [Twitter][]/[identi.ca][] plugin for [[irssi]].
+Installation is pretty simple, but I've put a [[Gentoo]] package in my
+[[overlay|Gentoo_overlay]] in case you're picky about one-off
+installations or don't want to track down all those dependencies by
+hand.
+
+Usage is also nice and simple.  Here's an extract of the [full
+docs][docs]:
+
+* Load the script: `/script load twirssi.pl`
+* Log in to twitter: `/twitter_login <username>`
+* Post: `/tweet <status>`
+* Follow: `/twitter_follow [-w] <username>` (with `-w`, send their
+  tweets to a window of the same name)
+* Unfollow: `/twitter_unfollow <username>`
+* Search: `/twitter_search <keyword>`
+* Subscribe: `/twitter_subscribe [-w] <keyword>` (`-w` same as for
+  `/twitter_follow`)
+* Unsubscribe: `/twitter_unsubscribe <keyword>`
+
+Subscriptions are basically repeated searches.  For example, if you
+wanted continuous updates on posts about twirssi, you would use:
+
+    /twitter_subscribe #twirssi
+
+Twirssi saves your current settings (follows, subscriptions, window
+names, etc.) in `~/.irssi/scripts/twirssi.*`.
+
+You can direct a public tweet towards a user by including
+`@<username>` in your tweet text.  You can also tag the tweet so that
+others can search for it with `#keyword`.
+
+There is currently no way to list users that you are following
+(a.k.a. your *friends*) or your followers.  Here's an excerpt from
+`#twirssi` on [irc.foonetic.net][].

+    10:13 < wking> is there a way to list users you are following (aka friends?) in twirssi?
+    10:15 <&Gedge> oh, just replied to your(?) tweet
+    10:16 < wking> ah, thanks.  Sorry for reposting ;)
+    10:17 <&Gedge> Not really (/twirssi_dump is debugging so doesn't count). Perhaps #twirssi needs "/twitter_friends" to list friends.
