Snifter

Maybe twitter could be used to monitor user feedback in a useful way...

Only known to work on Ruby 1.9.3

gem install snifter --pre

OR

git clone [this repo]
cd snifter
bundle install
gem build snifter.gemspec
gem install snifter

This bit is clunky, but Twitter requires both application and user credentials to use to it's API. To create them go to:

https://dev.twitter.com/apps

and click on 'Create a new application', name it etc. Once complete copy the tokens into the credentials.yml file.

If you build and install the gem then the snifter tool expects a valid credentials file in your $HOME directory named .snifter. You can copy the credentials.yml there. It's probably best to then chmod the file so only you have read access

chmod 600 ~/.snifter

Try it with

snifter
snifter 4od
