loklak: Tweet from the Shell

Objective

This task involves the use of an Open Source twitter command line client, a client you can use in your terminal.

Step by Step

  1. Research using which Open Source tool you can sent twitter messages from the terminal.
  2. Install and configure the software
  3. Send a test twitter message using the tool to your mentor with a screenshot of the terminal (e.g. "#FOSSASIA rocks! @agonarch @fossasia @mariobehling @lklknt 0rb1t3r"
  4. Write a blog post about the tool you used and explain how you installed and used it, and where you see the merits of twittering from the command line.

Next task

This task is intended as a preparation for a follow up task, where you can adapt the twitter client to work with loklak instead of twitter.
