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.
