How to use Pino with the new stand-alone SuperTweet TwitterAPI proxy
A lot of Linux users like the Pino Twitter client. It's a nice client, but unfortunately the 0.2 version doesn't support OAuth, and the 0.3 version is not available yet. Most people appear to be using Pino with SuperTweet.net as a result.
Below are instructions for using Pino 0.2 with the new stand-alone SuperTweet TwitterAPI proxy instead. Please use this method if you're using Pino 0.2 to reduce the load on the SuperTweet.net service. It's not that difficult to setup and once setup, your Pino should be faster too.
- Follow the instructions at http://www.supertweet.net/about/localproxy to download and the install the stand-alone SuperTweet proxy
-
Open Pino and either add a new account or edit an existing one and enter the following info for the account:
Username: your Twitter username
Password: the password you setup in step 1
Service: Other
Api proxy or other service: http:/localhost:8080/1/
Important: Even though it should work to use http://localhost:8080/, use http:/localhost:8080/1/ or else the mentions and direct messages will not work!
Click OK and you're ready to use Pino again!

Running the supertweet-local and Pino on my Archlinux, i'll see if it's really faster.

thanks for setting up a local instance - it helps reduce the load on our server (and wallet)

wins
if nothing else, it's one less network "hop"
Also there is the security/privacy advantage where for those that are concerned about their info being on a hosted service.

mentions
"mentions not work" is not very helpful. You would have to look at the Pino code to see what it's trying to do, what exact HTTP it's sending to exactly what url and then see what the results of that HTTP are and see why Pino doesn't like the result. You would have to report those kinds of details to expect to get help with this issue.
Remember that Supertweet.net API is not trying to emulate some older version of the Twitter API - it's just a proxy for the current Twitter API. If the Pino code is not compatible with the current Twitter API formats/results, the Supertweet.net API won't fix that.
