Enhancement: Allow customizeable twitter api urls

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It would be nice if you could post your task history to arbitrary urls that 
implement the twitter api.  Status.net, for instance, or if someone implemented 
it for wordpress blogs.

The problem with that is authentication. The major part of implementing 
Twitters API is not the REST API but OAuth.

Well, I haven't looked at you implementation of the code yet, but since you 
have OAuth implemented for twitter would it be substatially difficult to add 
another provider for another api endpoint?  And if they didn't use OAuth (which 
I suppose they wouldn't need to do to implement the Twitter API, although I was 
assuming that they would) could you just fall back on basic auth (for instance).

As I said, I haven't checked out the code yet, and I hope to take a look at  it 
this weekend - maybe the difficulties will be clearer to me then.

It is certainly doable, just not sure how much work it would be. I am currently 
using a Twitter lib as well but that might be compatible with other services if 
they are mirroring the API.

Thanks for adding the twitter API that is the main reason I switched to your 
app.  It makes tracking and teams much easier!
