Re: [orca-list] twitter from Linux

[Max <heavy9922 gmail com>]

Hi All.

For instant messenger that supports "libpurple" (including for such a 
"empathi" and "pidgin"), it is possible to use a "twitter". We just need 
to install a plugin called "prpltwtr". Users "Arch" "Manjaro" and 
"Sonar", can install a package from "AUR", which is called "prpltwtr-git".
In order to respond, as well as perform some other action is necessary 
to set the focus on the message, and then simulate clicking the right 
mouse button.
If we talk about the comparison "empathi" and "pidgin", then there 
should not miss one thing: if "empathi" enabled "libpurple", it will be 
supported by all the plugins that are used in "pidgin. But in interface 
customization, and accessibility to, of course wins "pidgin".

Also, take this opportunity to share more information if using a "skype" 
you do not need voice and video calls, as well as some other 
functionality, you can use plug-in for "libpurple" "purple-skypeweb". 
This plugin does not require "skype" program. It works through the 
"https", ie use "skype" Web version. Supported instant messaging 
functionality, file transfer, as well as people search. Adding people to 
your contact list are also supported.
Kendell Clark, at my request, the package moved the "purple-skypeweb" 
from "AUR", in OFFICIAL repository. Therefore, those who use the "Sonar" 
or "Manjaro", can install it easily.
