Tweet.IM new features

The Tweet.im online service has received new features: presence-based filtering, follow notifications, and search.

Tweet.im service, run by ProcessOne, enables XMPP users to tweet and receive tweets in near real-time in their preferred standards-based IM client. This service has received new interesting features in the last days.

The first of the new features is very handy, it is presence-based filtering:

• if available, busy or away, you receive tweets (and searches, see below)
• if you are in ‘do not disturb’ status, you don’t receive tweets, they are distributed like offline messages, when you come back in available, busy or away status
• you receive direct messages whatever your status is

Tweet.im now sends you followers notifications, this means you get simple text notifications when:

• someone has just subscribed to your posts (he turns as a follower for you)
• a follower has just unsubscribed from your posts (he has “unfollowed” you)

You can now follow and unfollow twitterers:

• f user: in order to follow
• u user: in order to unfollow

A new search feature have landed in Tweet.im:

• sa keyword: this will send you tweets containing the keyword as soon as they are published
• ss: in order to list the saved searches
• sd keyword: in order to stop receiving a search

Thanks to Twitter, we have also removed the limit of 20.000 requests per hour: you won’t have the error 400.

As a reminder, just type ‘help’ in your XMPP client to get all the commands:
