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

38 10:13 < wking> is there a way to list users you are following (aka friends?) in twirssi?
39 10:15 <&Gedge> oh, just replied to your(?) tweet
40 10:16 < wking> ah, thanks. Sorry for reposting ;)
41 10:17 <&Gedge> Not really (/twirssi_dump is debugging so doesn't count). Perhaps #twirssi needs "/twitter_friends" to list friends.
