For 5. /d - direct message,

Twitter uses "d ${user}" to send a direct message to the user. So I think we 
don't
need to implement this command.

I still think it'd be good to have the /d, as a duplicate for twitter services. 
This
way we can also test if direct message is working or not. "d ${user}" yield 
nothing
when failed. 

But this can be done later of course.

• Changed state: Started

[GoogleCodeExporter]

finish /replies, /refresh, /refresh_rate

Pidgin does not support flexible argument parsing, so I add /refresh_rate.

May I make the suggestion of making a wiki page of the supported commands for 
this? 
Or possibly make a "twitter-readme.txt" file or somesuch. It'd be great to be 
able 
to find the supported commands and how to use them in one, quick place, as 
opposed 
to sifting the issues discussion.

Thank you.

/leave for Twitter

This "unfollows" someone. It does not duplicate /block.

For: /tag, /btag, /untag
Show the current tag next to the message-length left. Maybe like exampletag 
[msg] for 
/tag and [msg] exampletag for /btag to show it's position.
Also subtract the tag-length (+1 for space) from left message-length.

BTW: Great plugin

/follow, /unfollow (everyone makes mistakes, right?)
/followers
/contacts (or /following?)

I might attempt to implement some, if patches are welcome (haven't looked at 
the 
source, though)

for /help I created a new issue#247 - this way we can keep track of what is 
implemented/started more easily.
I have also created a wiki-page [Commands] to track the commands.
