Dear TwiTalker Users：

This news is kinda sad: TwiTalker official bots will stop building.

I always believe that with the help of the technology, coding we can make life better and even change the way we communicate.I’ve been doing this work for years and TwiTalker is one of my favourite project.I’ve developed and launched TwiTalker, a twitter robot based on Google Talk last year, which provides a easy and simple way for Gtalk users to tweet.

There are some internet regulation in my country.I’m happy to found out TwiTalker became one of the applications breaking through the regulation barriers.I also doing lots of improvement jobs on that to make sure people pay more attention on the content of tweets themself.No sns model, no interface element, it’s just a tool for getting and sharing infomations.

Despite these wins, more and more official bots added and I have no time to maintain so many bots by myself.Besides, several projects still under developing in private.So I decide stop continue building more new official TwiTalker bots and focus on the improvement of the opensource version and the existing bots of twitalker.

Hope you guys understand. I am doing some awesome projects these months. I hope it will rock you up in the future

Best Regards

Kavin

去年的这个时候，TwiTalker开始正式上线，这个本意是开发来满足自己和部分朋友的小应用在一年来迅猛发展 (见去年文)。一周年了，TwiTalker进行了无数次修改和更新，重构了源程序，开源了代码，扩展了英文版本。用户从百到千增长，范围遍及世界各个地方。

所以，在这运行一周年的时间点上，我想说： Thanks for your support.

我一直坚信一点，科技必将改变人的生活习惯。编程之美对我来说不在于采用何种技术何种架构何种语言，而在于它在一行行代码的堆砌下，能将各种幻想变成现实，这也是我一直热爱编程的原因。

一周年了，我想说的有很多，但现在我正忙于准备毕业工作以及其他一些事宜，没有时间长篇抒发。但正如题目所写，TwiTalker的使命将是使更多人更方便的使用Twitter，同时在墙内外架起一座沟通的桥梁，让更多的人通过这座桥走出来看看外面的世界。

这是TwiTalker未来的开发方向，也是最终目标。为此，TwiTalker将一直保持更新和开源状态。

去年做的Della由于年久失修，各种查询已经失效了，而且当时做的gtalk版本是用xmpppy模块在本地运行实现，所以无法达到机器人24小时在线。所以最近抽空把Della的代码完全重构了一次，目前已经update至2.0.1版本，实现的查询功能是天气，股票，星座，词典。如果你对Della还不了解，可以看看去年的这篇日志。

上周也拿到新浪围脖的app key，说实话之前没想到围脖会开放api的，于是也顺手把Della移植到围脖上( @iDella )，同时加上GAE的xmpp功能完成了机器人24小时gt在线，新重构的Della无论在miniblog部分还是gt部分都依靠gae来跑了。Della 2.0.1在Twitter、围脖和Gtalk上都能使用，具体使用帮助可以参考这里。

新版Della的代码也开源到新项目主页上了，十分欢迎各位为Della添加新的查询功能，具体程序结构开发事项可参考：http://code.google.com/p/della-bot/wiki/Development
