[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 ` * Post: `/tweet ` * Follow: `/twitter_follow [-w] ` (with `-w`, send their tweets to a window of the same name) * Unfollow: `/twitter_unfollow ` * Search: `/twitter_search ` * Subscribe: `/twitter_subscribe [-w] ` (`-w` same as for `/twitter_follow`) * Unsubscribe: `/twitter_unsubscribe ` 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 `@` 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][]. --- Log opened Mon Feb 20 10:13:06 2012 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.
