Frequently Asked Questions -------------------------- Q: Twitter support seems to be disabled. How can I twit via pidgin-twitter? A: Since Twitter's IM gateway bot has been offlined for long time, you need to setup API based twitter access. Please make sure that screen name for twitter has been properly configured, "Get/post statuses via API" has been enabled and the password has been properly configured. Pidgin-twitter works as following: it watches all conversations, if a conversation is initiated with one of the "bot account", it starts to work. In API based twitter access, pidgin-twitter still use this machinery. So your account for twitter must have "twitter@twitter.com" in its buddy list. To add that, please login gtalk with your account which you want to use for twitter, then choose "Add buddy" from "Buddies" menu in buddy list window. "Add buddy" dialog will appear, please add twitter@twitter.com to your gtalk account there. This buddy need not appear on the buddy list because it is always offline. You can confirm that it has been successfully added to the list by checking "show offline buddies" (Buddies->Show->Offline buddies). I recommend applying "show when offline" on twitter@twitter.com for convenience.
