+ This module gives you simple access to Twitter. Although it uses the Twitter API, only Twitter itself is supported at the moment.

+ <para>
+ By default all your Twitter contacts will show up in your contact list and their tweets will show up as private messages or in &amp;bitlbee depending on your settings. If you want them in a separate channel, use the use_groupchat setting (see <emphasis>help set use_groupchat</emphasis>).

+ <para>
+ To send tweets yourself, send them to any of your Twitter contacts via /query (doesn't matter who), or just write in the groupchat channel if you enabled that option.

+ <description>
+ <para>
+ If message timestamps are available for offline messages or chatroom backlogs, BitlBee will display them as part of the message. By default it will use the local timezone. If you're not in the same timezone as the BitlBee server, you can adjust the timestamps using this setting.

+ Values local/utc/gmt should be self-explanatory. timezone-spec is a time offset in hours:minutes, for example: -8 for Pacific Standard Time, +2 for Central European Summer Time, +5:30 for Indian Standard Time.
