this script is awesome. keep up the good work. i use quicksilver and adium a lot at home and at work. thismakes tweeting something very very easy. just hit the quicksilver hot keys, then period then start typing. very cool. i just updated my msn and twitter feed and adium gave me the growl notifications for both and updated my status on adium. thank you very a great script.

I’ve never been able to successfully use this script to update my adium status. I just downloaded 1.8.3 of this script, and I’m currently using Adium 1.3b2 (though I had been on Adium 1.2.x). I get an error via growl saying “can’t set the status of a contact”

Make sure you are choosing to run it. It sounds like you’re just opening the .scpt file in Script Editor. The bug with updating the status on the latest version of Adium is known, and I have a provisional fix, I just need to test it a little bit more before releasing an update.

I will most likely be releasing 1.8.3 over the weekend.

I had almost the same problem described above. I type the text, choose twitter IM as the action, and then it asks me to identify proteus and then skype. I clicked adium both times and it sent the tweet, but didn’t change the adium status. Tried it a second time, same result.

Yes, I use twitterific for keeping track of received tweets. When I wrote this script twitterific didn’t update the chat status. I still prefer my way of doing it though – I find the quicksilver interface much more intuitive for writing rather than hitting my twitterific keyboard shortcut, moving the mouse, clicking in the text box then typing.

With my method, I don’t need to touch the mouse which makes it much quicker for me.

Have you used Twitterrific? What are your thoughts on it?

It updates Adium and/or iChat (don’t know about y!m or msn) and growl-notifies any friend updates, so it seems like, minus quicksilver integration, it’s pretty similar to your TweetIM plugin, no?

recently installed the script and it does not work. every time i invoke quicksilver to update my twitter status, the script opens up a dialog box asking me to locate “proteus.app” and then “aMSN.app”. the first time i just tried canceling the dialog box and nothing was update. the second time i just selected adium.app each time and surprisingly it worked. the only caveat was that once i tried to invoke quicksilver again to update it, i had to repeat this same process.

please advise because this essentially makes this plugin unusable for me.

script does not work. everytime i run the script, it keeps prompting me to locate proteus.app and aMSN.app, which i don’t have installed. to get pass the dialog box, i just gave it the location of adium.app. however, when i invoke quicksilver again to type in a new status message, it again pops open with a dialog box asking to locate proteus.app.
