Contents

notes for a review of different twitter<->IRC gateways.

Pros and cons of each, plus what each does that the others do not.

bitlbee

  • Pro
    • very well known
    • multi-protocol, multi-account
  • Con
    • relies heavily on a command channel with its own commands, rather than IRCisms

tircd

  • Pro
    • displays users "real names" on @mentions (also a con: increases verbositude)
    • relies heavily on "natural" IRCisms (invite, kick, /msg, etc)
  • Con
    • not a general IM solution. twitter/identica only

minbif

  • Pro
    • multi protocol. (multiaccount is unknown/assumed?)
  • Con
    • libpurple has heavy dependancies in debian at least (X crap!! :(

twirssi

  • Con
    • chews the CPU
    • uses an irssi window, but otherwise appears unrelated to any interface settings from irssi. (ie, colours, logging, etc, all have to be setup anew)
    • is not a general IM solution. twitter/identica only
    • twirssi specific solution only.
  • Pro
    • loading full conversations on the fly
    • nice colouring of hashtags and @mention names
