Bot Social is a Bot submodule which listens for URLs for Twitter posts to be mentioned in a channel. When it detects one, it uses the Twitter API to fetch the “tweet” and echoes it back into the channel, saving everyone a click.
Conceptually, it could be expanded to work with similar services such as Identi.ca or the like.
Example usage:
