Multiple Contact Mode

Currently, twitter-backend supports two types of modes:
  • Single Contact
  • Multiple Contact
In the Single Contact mode, the XMPP user's roster will have only one contact corresponding to his twitter account labelled twitter. The user can interact with the Twitter network via this special contact that represents his account.

In this Multiple Contact mode, the XMPP user's roster will have the aforementioned special twitter contact and one contact each for the user's followers. Some of the features in this mode include adding /removing contact via the UI (depends on the client used the user), sending/receiving direct messages by clicking on the contact corresponding to the user.

The next step would be to work on the chatroom mode, where the users twitter account will be mapped onto a chatroom.
