How To Twitter from MXit

How To Update Twitter from MXit

4 Comments 13 July 2010

Back in 2008 when you could still tweet via instant messenger (we’re you on twitter then?) Your Web AddiCT asked, ‘Let me Twitter from MXit please‘ It is now 2 years later so i decided to ask @MXit via twitter if it was possible. And yes it is now possible. You can add your Twitter profile to your MXit profile and all your MXit status updates will be pushed to Twitter.

How to Update Twitter from MXit:

select “Menu” – “My Profile” – “Twitter status update” and authenticate your Twitter profile

Currently you can only do it from a J2ME client and this feature is currently on the backlog for Android, iPhone and the EVO client.

You can update your Facebook status using a similar procedure.

Have you read these yet?

I'm sure you have something to say or tweet about this. Why not post a comment below or @rafiq me...

Fair enough, so your MXit status can become a tweet, but what is the point if you cannot view your friends tweets?
or tweet something without changing your status, or set your status without tweeting it…

Good questions Jonathan. Maybe @mxit can answer them…

Hi Rafiq,
This functionality has been around for at least 2 years now utilising the Chisimba tribe module which exposes a number of services via XMPP (including twitter updates, wikipedia and dictionary lookups and many more). It all was put up on a test site at http://www.peeps.co.za and has been presented at OSCON for the past 2 years too.

that’s great Paul. How on earth is anyone supposed to know what to do on the site? No visible instructions.
