DESCRIPTION

This plugin allows cross-posting messages to multiple accounts. In configuration, you can provide an "option" value. When used as an option to "post", your message will be cross-posted to your primary account and the secondary account with that "option" value. If you do not provide an "option" value, all messages are cross-posted to the secondary account.

By appending "only" to the "option" value, your status will only be posted to the the account with that "option" value.

I use a configuration similar to the one in the synopsis to cross-post my Twitter status updates to Identi.ca, and optionally to Facebook. My Twitter screen name is "semifor". I created an account with screen name "semifor_fb" and registered it with Twitter's Facebook application. In the "twirc" configuration file, I assigned "option" value "fb" to the account.

I created another secondary account with my Identi.ca screen name. In "twirc" configuration, I used the "net_twitter_options" to specify Identi.ca's "apiurl".

Now, when I post a normal status update, it is posted to "semifor" on both Twitter and Identi.ca. If I include a "-fb" option to post, my status update is posted to Twitter, Identi.ca, and Facebook. If I add a "-fbonly" option to "post", my status update is only posted to the Facebook account.

DEPRCATION NOTICE

This module relies on username/password authentication, which Twitter dropped ages ago. The author isn't using this plugin, personally, and suspects no one else is, either. So, if you are using it, file an issue, or better---a pull request. Otherwise, it will get silently dropped in a future release.
