= addicted to twitter

... a sweet little diddy that helps you twitter your life away

== Install

sudo gem install twitter will work just fine. For command line use, you'll need a few other gems: sudo gem install main 
highline activerecord sqlite3-ruby

== Examples

  Twitter::Base.new('your email', 'your password').update('watching veronica mars')
  
  # or you can use post
  Twitter::Base.new('your email', 'your password').post('post works too')

  puts "Public Timeline", "=" * 50
  Twitter::Base.new('your email', 'your password').timeline(:public).each do |s|
    puts s.text, s.user.name
    puts
  end

  puts '', "Friends Timeline", "=" * 50
  Twitter::Base.new('your email', 'your password').timeline.each do |s|
    puts s.text, s.user.name
    puts
  end

  puts '', "Friends", "=" * 50
  Twitter::Base.new('your email', 'your password').friends.each do |u|
    puts u.name, u.status.text
    puts
  end

  puts '', "Followers", "=" * 50
  Twitter::Base.new('your email', 'your password').followers.each do |u|
    puts u.name, u.status.text
    puts
  end

== Command Line Use
  
  $ twitter

Will give you a list of all the commands. You can get the help for each command by running twitter [command] -h. 

The first thing you'll want to do is install the database so your account(s) can be stored. 

  $ twitter install
  
You can always uninstall twitter like this:

  $ twitter uninstall
  
Once the twitter database is installed and migrated, you can add accounts like this:

  $ twitter add
  Add New Account:
  Username: jnunemaker
  Password (won't be displayed): 
  Account added.

You can also list all the accounts you've added.

  $ twitter list
  Account List
  * jnunemaker
    snitch_test

The * means denotes the account that will be used when posting, befriending, defriending, following, leaving or viewing 
a timeline.

To post using the account marked with the *, simply type the following:

  $ twitter post "releasing my new twitter gem"

That is about it. You can do pretty much anything that you can do with twitter from the command line interface.
