Twinger
Description
Tiny app to mimic (mock?) finger on Twitter.
Remember when finger was a thing? Probably not. But once upon a time you could type:
bash$ finger bson@gnu.ai.mit.edu
And get some neat results:
[apple-gunkies.gnu.ai.mit.edu]
User Real Name What Idle TTY Host Console Location
bson Jan Brittenson fgrep *p0 apple-gu (nutrimat.gnu.ai.)
Now you can do the same with Twitter:
$ twinger stephenfry
[stephenfry@twitter.com]
User Real Name What
stephenfry Stephen Fry British Actor, Writer, Lord of Dance, Prince of Swimwear & Blogger
Requirements
json
Installation & Usage
