I’ve been working for a while on a version of Twitter Tools that extends Social. Version 3.0 is a ground-up rewrite, with a few features included for backward compatibility. If you’d like to test the beta, grab it from GitHub.

Note that this is lightly tested and there is absolutely no information in the README yet. Please contribute via pull requests in GitHub to help write the README with the information you would find useful.

I’m excited about the move to using Social as the platform for Twitter Tools because it fixes the user experience issues that have plagued Twitter Tools since Twitter’s move to OAuth. Read more of my bitching about this here:

• Twitter Tools OAuth Update – June 10, 2010
• Twitter Tools and OAuth Continued – June 13, 2010
• Twitter Tools OAuth Update – August 13, 2010
• Twitter Tools 2.4 (OAuth Support) – August 15, 2010

Please open issues on GitHub for any bugs you find.
