After I woke up from my turkey-induced coma on Thanksgiving I wanted to send Chatter to everyone in our Appirio Salesforce org to inform them that I was still alive.
Sure, I could have fired up the trusty, ole Chatter app but since I like to work from the command line, I decided to write a Chatter API plugin for my buddy Kevin O'Hara's #awesome nforce node.js package.
Github repo: https://github.com/jeffdonthemic/nforce-chatter
NPM: https://www.npmjs.org/package/nforce-chatter
I wrote a nforce-tooling plugin for nforce earlier this year and adding another plugin was a snap! One caveat, the Chatter API is #huge so I've only implemented a few methods so far. The plugin is a work in progress so pull requests are welcome!
See the repo for full details, but here's a quick rundown on the 0.0.1 functionality:
userStatistics()

id: Required. The id of the user to return statistics for.
myNewsFeed()

recordFeed()
