And another

I found 100 twitter modules,
I found 100 twitter modules, but this list only includes the ones I considered current. domain_tweets doesn't have a release and no commits in a year, which is why it was left out.
Not applicable modules?
I think this module should be removed from the list unless I'm missing something about it:
boxes - doesn't have any Twitter functionality, just Twitter Pull can integrate with it, but that is all on Twitter Pull's side
Also, might be helpful to split this table into two sections - direct Twitter modules vs. something + Twitter - basically split based on the "Used outside Twitter" column.
Oh, nice work on the list.
Oh, nice work on the list. Thanks! Maybe this effort will help weed out twitter modules after all :-)
Nice work yourself!
Thanks for doing the hard work to assemble this in the first place! I know it was helpful to me today already.
"Boxes" is listed as a
"Boxes" is listed as a dependency only. Feel free to remove it if you like.
OpenID Selector
OpenID Selector improves upon the UI provided by Twitter Signin (part of Twitter module), which it depends upon. It doesn't really add Twitter functionality.
Twitter module provides publish, login and import as well. I see that your column is labelled "Principal usage" but I think that's dependent on how it's applied.
Wow. 100 modules? Nuts. Can we embed a combined usage graph for them? :)
If my comments have helped you, please pay it forward!
Use issue queues to discuss module issues - this will help your questions assist others (including yourself!) in future.
Cool! Thnks!
Cool!
Thnks!
Twitter client?
Could any of the above modules be used as a full-fledged Twitter client? My search, so far, has not been fruitful, but maybe I'm doing it wrong.
A proper Twitter client would
A proper Twitter client would need to be able to post tweets instead of only retrieving them. This is a whole other level of complexity, and not one that I presume most clients would ask for, so I doubt you're going to find a module which supports that at more than a very basic level, if at all.
The Boise Drupal Guy!
I appreciate your response
I understand you are not saying there are none that do implement it, but that it is highly unlikely, due to the level of involvement. I think that if there was an actual full Twitter client, people would know about it, even if they weren't using it.
This saves me hours of work and research, especially considering the number of clients available. Had there been only a few modules, I would have just installed them all, tried them out, and read through the code to find out for myself.
Thank you.
Ok, so I wrote another to
Ok, so I wrote another to solve my usecase before finding this page!! http://drupal.org/project/twitter_timeline. None of the above seem to solve the same problem, so it wasn't wasted effort at least. I have added it to the list. Hopefully this simple module will help those that just want to show twitter timeline widgets without unnecessary complexity.
