This a tool to update your status message in Adium.app and Messages.app to your last tweet. It includes 'new style' RTs, excludes replies, and converts t.co links to their expanded versions.
To use Twims you will first need to install its dependancy Tweepy.
You will then need to clone this repository and then run setup.py in a terminal like this:
python setup.py install
You will be asked to authenticate with Twitter and then enter the verification code that Twitter presents to you.
Your status will be updated immediately and then refreshed every 60 seconds.
If you decide you don't want your IM status updated anymore you can uninstall like this:
python setup.py rm
- Uses launchd and not crontab (I'm a good boy)
- The scripts are python, but the actual status message update is done through AppleScript (nice)
- User configurable refresh rate (currently just does every 60 seconds)
- User configurable apps (is there anything other than Messages and Adium this would work on?)
