Configure your IM client for Twitter or Foursquare
You can chat with online friends (bidirectional follow relationship). You don't post a tweet, you send a message
directly
to your friend without publishing it anywhere.
Treegger does not store any data, credentials or messages, all contents just transit between you and our servers using secure connection (TLS).
As twitter does not provide a digest authentication feature, you should send your login/pass in plain text using SSL/TLS connection.
Don't worry. We never store passwords and nobody can access to them as the connection always remains secure.
IMonAir is a free iPhone, Android and desktop client for Windows, OSX or Linux featuring video chat and P2P file transfer. IMonAir is configured to work easily with Treegger infrastructure.
IMonAir is also freely available as an mobile application in iPhone Marketplace and Android Marketplace.
If you don't want to setup an IM desktop software, just try our simple web chat (requires Google Chrome or Safari 5).
For any XMPP client software you should use the following setup:
Jabber ID: [your twitter account name]@twitter (for example 'jchasetg@twitter') or your [foursquare email with '#' instead of '@']@foursquare (for example 'jchase#treegger.com@foursquare')
Connect Server: xmpp.treegger.com with port 5223
Allow plaintext authentication (twitter doesn't provide any other authentication method yet)
SSL/TLS (old style) required and selected
Screen name: use your Twitter name (here jchasetg) or your foursquare email with a # instead of @ (for example jchase#treegger.com)
Server: twitter or foursquare (if you're using your foursquare account)
In advanced tab, enter 'xmpp.treegger.com' in the Connect Server box (be sure that server is still 'twitter' in the previous tab)
Create a new Jabber account.
Set the user name (here jchasetg), and the password. You can't set the server here (you have to go to the 'Configuration' panel by clicking on the icon on the bottom left).
In the configuration panel, set the login server manually to 'twitter' and also specify the connection host as 'xmpp.treegger.com' port '5223'.
If using a foursquare account your email is your username (with # instead of @) and foursquare is the login server. For example:
username: jchase#treegger.com and login server: foursquare.
Create a 'Jabber account' and use same configuration as any XMPP client and in option panel enter xmpp.treegger.com port 5223 with plaintext, old style SSL and required SSL/TLS checked.
Twitter configuration
Foursquare configuration
Just replace the server "talk.google.com" by "xmpp.treegger.com" and use [your twitter account name]@twitter (for example jchasetg@twitter or jchase#treegger.com@foursquare) as the Jabber ID and use your twitter account password.
Here are screenshot for a foursquare account (as you can see the email is written using a # as jchase#treegger.com).
In the account property window, select connection panel. Manually specify the server host/port set to xmpp.treegger.com/5223, select 'Legacy SSL' in the combobox and allow plaintext authentication 'over encrypted connection'.
