Using Identi.ca with IM

If you’re already instant messaging, incorporating Indenti.ca into your routine is quick and easy. You can send and receive messages and manage tracks through IM.

1. Add “laconica@west.spy.net” to your IM friends list.
2. Here’s the list of currently available commands.

   add_service Add a service you can post to.
   autopost Enable or disable autopost
   help Get help for commands.
   off Disable updates.
   on Activate updates.
   post Post an update to a service.
   remove_service Remove (log out of) a service.
   services List all known services.
   track Track a topic
   tracks List your tracks.
   untrack Stop tracking a topic

   You can access this list at any time by sending “help” to the above address.

A billion props to @dustin for setting up this IM tool.
