ActsAsTwittertasticable

=================

Twitter is all the rage these days, and I only have one question

Why do people get to have ALL THE FUN?!

It’s time for Higher Order Models™®©. Models that tell the world what they’re up to using Twitter, just like normal people.

ActsAsTwittertasticable fills this void and brings Twitter directly to your AR models. It’s super duper simple.

Set up your Twitter authentication in environment.rb:

  TwitterAuth.username = "my_twitter_username"
  TwitterAuth.password = "my_twitter_password"

Then twitterize your model:

  class Movie < ActiveRecord::Base
    go_twitterize!
  end

That’s it! Unfortunately the default status message is informational, not fun. I assume that you’re more fun than me, so feel free to define the status however you want. Again, super duper simple:

  class Movie < ActiveRecord::Base
    go_twitterize!

    def twitter_status
      "I'm watching #{title} starring #{star}!!"
    end
  end
