Re: [orca-list] twitter app with orca

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

TTYtter rocks, and I'm sure a very nice wraper could be made for it to integrate with gui menus. 
The other idea I had for ttytter is to start a few instances in screen to handle multiple buffers, e.g. one 
for timeline, 
another for mentions, and a 3rd for dms with the option to run another one or two. 
The Ubuntu version of the package has the term-readline-ttytter package included, but on other distros you'll 
need to get 
that separately. I like having that alot as it informs you of how many chars you have typed among other 
things.
 I think the developer has abandoned it however, so if anyone is good at perl, please consider standing by to 
fix anything 
that twitter breaks.
