How to use LaunchBar for Twitter

[ptujec]

took ptujec's script and added a few things:
- Keychain support
- Twitter icon on growl notifications (You need to have the free Twitter.app in your Applications forlder)
- goo.gl url shortening service

Any errors?
Did you put the info in the keychain?
Does it show the growl notification?

Yeah, I was wondering how you got your keychain entry. But you did that manually, right? ;)
Works fine now.
The good thing is that you can share your script without accidentally giving away your password. Maybe I should add the keychain part to the script with the necessary directions.

yes I did it manually. There are instructions in the beginning of the script.

It's never good to have plain passwords laying around.. although this one is not critical..

Let's hope someone comes up with Oauth in applescript so we can drop this proxy bullshit

I updated the script and the directions.

Go to the first page and see what we are using now. ;)

Ah right. I've integrated Supertweet.net into my apps as well. Gotta love it.

If you are running the latest App Store version of Growl (1.4) and Twitter for Mac you can replace the "on growlNotify" part with this code.

Now if you click the Notification it will bring up your timeline in Twitter for Mac. Not that it would be necessarily helpful but I thought I share it anyways cause its a neat detail.

Code: Select all

 on growlNotify(grrTitle, grrDescription, grrPriority)
   tell application "Growl"
      notify with name "Alert" title grrTitle description grrDescription priority grrPriority application name "Tweet" callback URL "twitter://timeline"
   end tell
end growlNotify
