title: 'Joggle 0.1.0 Released: Jabber to Twitter Relay'
---

<p>I just released <a href="http://pablotron.org/software/joggle/">Joggle</a> version 0.1.0.  Joggle is a Jabber to
<a href="http://twitter.com/">Twitter</a> relay; tweets show up as instant messages, and instant
messages are posted as tweets.  </p>

<p>Setting up Joggle is easy; all you need is Ruby, five minutes, and a
spare Jabber account:</p>

<pre><code># install joggle, create joggle directory
sudo gem install joggle
mkdir ~/.joggle

# create joggle config file 
# (replace joggle@example.com and abc123 with your spare jabber 
# account and password, respectively)
echo -e "jabber.user joggle@example.com\njabber.pass abc123" &gt; ~/.joggle/joggle.cfg

# run joggle in the background
joggle --daemon --config ~/.joggle/joggle.cfg
</code></pre>

<p>Next, add the specified Jabber account (<code>joggle@example.com</code>, in the
example above) to the buddy list in your Jabber client.</p>

<p>Finally, register your twitter username and password with Joggle by
sending an instant message like this: <code>.register TWITTER_USER TWITTER_PASS</code>
(replace <code>TWITTER_USER</code> and <code>TWITTER_PASS</code> with your Twitter username
and password).</p>

<p>You can also share your Joggle installation with your friends; have them
add the Jabber account to their buddy list and send a <code>.register</code>
command.</p>

<p>See the <a href="http://pablotron.org/files/joggle/README-0.1.0.txt">README</a> file for detailed installation instructions and a
full list of configuration options.</p>
