CrowFriend

A twitter <=> irc bridge. Makes twitter as IRC-like as possible. Built using eventmachine and twitter's streaming API.

Motivation

Existing solutions (that I could find) do not use twitter's streaming API, and twitter's REST API has some very miserly rate limiting.

A project for OpenHack Victoria.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'crowfriend'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install crowfriend

Usage
