Adding Twitter support in Internet Services for Amarok

Hi,

I browsed through the online svn for chqoK at [1], as I had problems
accessing svn directly.  Here is what I undesrtood.  They have a
class, which according to the preferences of the users, constructs a
string by pulling the track information using DBus.  This string is
then passed on to the class that handles the Quick Tweet dialog box,
where the user can edit the tweet string, and then tell choqoK to post
it.  choqoK then makes the POST request to Twitter using a KUrl
object.

These are pretty much the steps that we can follow as well.  However,
I have absolutely no clue if we can/should integrate almost the entire
choqoK backend code to do this.  choqoK currently supports Twitter and
Identi.ca.  If we do this, we could aim at posting to both.  I hope
that the powers that be will guide me/us :).

OK.  Then, we wait till he comes.  Till then, maybe I could spend time
getting acquainted with the code and studying up Qt/C++ in my spare
time.
