Implement a Twitter/Status.net client #25

... so that what you post on Shaarli is automatically posted on Twitter/Status.net.

In same way, i't possible to implements proprietary tag (berk) for twitter and open graph (facebook) https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate/blob/v4.1.0/doc/extend.md#social-networks

And add the sidemap.xml too :) https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate/blob/v4.1.0/doc/extend.md#direct-search-spiders-to-your-sitemap

I don't know about Twitter, but for Status.net this is already doable, by adding your Shaarli's RSS feed to your Status.net account. I have that set up on my identi.ca account: http://identi.ca/e2jk

The only bad thing is that I don't think anyone understands what is going on: the post shows the title of your Shaarli post, but you have to click on the dent's date/time (...) to get access to the link. This is not intuitive at all.

I had thought about creating a patch that would generate a second RSS feed, that would put the url as part of the text. Due to length restrictions a shortened url should probably be used. The RSS feed would have a parameter that indicates how long the text can be, to handle instances limited to 140 characters, or 500 and + characters. That way Shaarli would be able to generate text that is adapted to the service that is consuming it's RSS.

Twitter is a pain in the ass: http://sebsauvage.net/wiki/doku.php?id=php:shaarli:doc:twitter And the lib I use (tmhOAuth) sometimes fails silently. :-(

Thanks for the tip about RSS in Status.net. That would be so much better than an API. (Why on earth does not Twitter support this ?)

Pondering the issue, I think that's too much work for a small advantage. I postpone this feature. (I label it "wontfix" for now and close it.)

If you want to do it anyway, there are several services capable of taking a RSS feed and publish it to Twitter:
