How to set up a StatusNet (identi.ca) account in @tweetdeck desktop

If you would like to set up Tweetdeck desktop to accommodate your StatusNet (identi.ca) account, here's how:

StatusNet

1. Go to accounts > add new account > twitter

2. Put in the StatusNet username & password

3. Click "advanced options"

4. For the "twitter base url" type in : [your url for status net home page]/index.php/api/

5. Save settings.

Your tweetdeck now handles your StatusNet account.

identi.ca

1. Go to account > new account > twitter

2. Enter the username & password for your identi.ca account

3. Click "advanced options"

4. For the "twitter base url" type in : https://identi.ca/api/

5. Save settings.

Your tweetdeck now handles your identi.ca account.

Question (to which I do not know the answer): Would these same techniques work for FriendFeed and other microblogging services?

  3. Hi Mr.Ray,
    I have a question for this topics.
    Install 0.9.5 version of statusnet on my server.
    I tried to configure a tweetdeck to access my account on same above process, but every displayed 'Ah wrong details, try again!'...
    I set a fancy URLs, and input http://www.mydomain.com/api .
    Please correct me if I'm wrong!
    sorry for my poor english.

    thanks,

  4. Sorry Mr Kutai, I don't know about that.

    I just know about doing it for an account on the status.net web site.

  5. H.Tateiwa is it because you never added the index.php into your settings i.e.

    http://yourdomain.com/index.php/api/

    instead of

    http://yourdomain.com/api/

  8. The newest version of Tweetdeck for Android does not seem to have an "Advanced Options" section when adding a new "twitter" account :( Any idea how to get past that?
