This morning when I signed onto Meebo it told me I was connecting to FB through Jabber. Now, i've never recieved that message and I beleive it means that the XMPP client for Facebook may be up and running. If i'm correct that should mean we no longer have to use the pidgin plugin to get the N900 on facebook chat right?
I guess that Facebook has not opened their XMPP interface to normal 3rd party developers yet. I hope someone could port pidgin-facebookchat to N900

Thanks for your input. I will add an option to not import Twitter following friends to Contacts.

DM is technically easy to support. However, I and the upstream developer are not sure about user experience yet (for instance, how to differentiate DM from replies?).

I have also thought about your 3rd advice before. Not sure if I will implement it though

You can enable "sync availability status message to Twitter" from account advanced setting. Then if you update your status message from availability panel, it will be updated to Twitter too.

For Inacurate & Nirave too: I am sorry about character count. It's not possible for this plugin, as I can't modify Nokia's chat UI. SMS UI has character count, but I can't use it for Twitter (since this plugin integrates Twitter as IM).

However, what I can do is to implement a text splitting method when sending a overlong tweets. So instead getting a sent failed error, this long text (>140) will be updated as two or more tweets, each one has the same reply_to_id (thus replying to the same tweet).

For hex900 too: Yep, I will implement home timeline the same way as search (actually the upstream develop has implemented it already, but I need to adapt it to Maemo). This means that a special Twitter buddy represented home timeline will be imported to Contacts. Open IM window for this buddy will get your home timeline. If you send a chat message to your home timeline, you simply update your Twitter status

This will also solves the question asked by many people: how to easily update my own Twitter status.

The plugin is based on http://code.google.com/p/libpurple-twitter-protocol/ It's a C program. You can find all its source code there.

In short, it's a libpurple plugin that integrates to Maemo platform via Telepathy (http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/wiki/).

So if you want to integrate an IM or social network service to Maemo contacts and conversations, you can either:

1. Write a libpurple plugin, and depend your package to account-plugin-haze (this will install haze plugin when installing your plugin).

2. Write a Telepathy connection manager (in N900, cellular backend, Gtalk, Skype, SIP, etc are all Telepathy connection managers). You can find Telepathy resources from the above link. BTW, you can use Python here, just like butterfly MSN plugin.

Wish these would help

Any idea why mate?
Because this Twitter plugin needs telepathy-haze to integrate with Maemo Contacts and Conversations...

Hi, sorry if this takes the conversation back into very very simple terms, but if the Twitter integration app is in the devel-resp, am I correct in thinking that its next step is to move up to the extras, then finally to a certified state?

Theres much talk on here of needing other plugins, when an 'app' is finalised, do these plug ins become integrated into the download, or do they still need to be installed separately?

And if so, for novices who aren't familiar with linux/xterm ect, is it better to wait for that point rather then install a bunch of unfamiliar files separately, and then not be able to trace the cause of any potential errors?

Apologies again if this is off topic or something I should know already, a quick explanation would be appreciated if someone has the time.

i seem to have the "not signed in" issue too. the plugin seemed to install just fine but when i try sign in it looks like it tries for a second then goes back to not signed in.

i know the app is still in devel but has anyone got around the issue?

That will make it almost the perfect twitter app for me. Right now I'm alternating between mauku and witter - and neither is exactly right.
