The plugin supports OAuth as of 3.0 which was released ages ago.</p> <p>The version in fedora-updates-testing however was already recent enough ..</p> <p>So enabling that repo and running<br /> <span class="geshifilter"><code class="text geshifilter-text">yum &nbsp;update &nbsp;purple-microblog</code></span><br /> quickly solved my proble .. till I disabled twitter in my pidgin again as there was way to much talk about some weird fruit ...</p> http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog/pidgin-and-oauth#comments oauth pidgin twitter Wed, 01 Sep 2010 18:53:42 +0000 Kris Buytaert 1016 at http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog
