Bti is well known as a command line twitter/identica/statusnet client, by Greg Kroah-Hartman.

I have been using this tool in CLI environment for a long time, found it difficult for human to parse output by eyes. So I forked it and added this bash color support, to provide some highlight on tweets.

To enable color support, add an option –auto-color to bti command, or append auto-color=yes to your configuration file($HOME/.bti)

I have sent pull request to Greg, hope the patch can be merged into master. Before approved, you can check out my fork and compile it yourself. (If liboauth not found, find it here.)
