The tweet.IM online service has received new features: presence-based filtering, follow notifications, and search.

Tweet.IM service, run by ProcessOne, enables XMPP users to tweet and receive tweets in near real-time in their preferred standards-based IM client. This service has received new interesting features in the last days.

The first of the new features is very handy, it is presence-based filtering:

  • you receive direct messages whatever your status is
  • you receive timeline messages when you are “available” or “available for chat”
  • you receive mentions when you are not in the busy / do not disturb state.
  • you receive followers notifications when you are not in the busy / do not disturb state
  • you receive search (track) updates when you are “available” or “available for chat”

Tweet.IM now sends you followers notifications, this means you get simple text notifications when:

  • someone has just subscribed to your posts (he turns as a follower for you)
  • a follower has just unsubscribed from your posts (he has “unfollowed” you)

You can now follow and unfollow twitterers:

  • f user: in order to follow
  • u user: in order to unfollow

A new search feature have landed in tweet.IM:

  • sa keyword: this will send you tweets containing the keyword as soon as they are published
  • ss: in order to list the saved searches
  • sd keyword: in order to stop receiving a search

Thanks to Twitter, we have also removed the limit of 20.000 requests per hour: you won’t have the error 400.

As a reminder, just type ‘help’ in your XMPP client to get all the commands:
