I’m using IRC via Bitlbee to do instant messaging in Emacs. I’ve been using the *ui-fix* branch of Bitlbee. Here’s how to add an Identi.ca account:
account add twitter kensanata foo account list account 6 set base_url http://identi.ca/api account 6 set mode chat account 6 set oauth false save account 6 on
Instead of “6” you need to use the correct account number.
If you already have a Twitter account with the same handle, one of the two will be called #chat\ 000 instead of #identica\ kensanata – join us on #bitlbee @ freenode and help us fix it. 😄
using Twitter and Identica accounts with the same username
account add identica kensanata foo account identica set mode chat save account identica on

Hmm. I’m using the Bitlbee package that ships with Debian Sid. Doesn’t appear to have your patch applied. So, using the Twitter hack by changing the base_url works, but then only 13-14 of the accounts I’m following join the chat, rather than the 100+ that I’m following. Any ideas? Or, do you know when native identi.ca support will be added to upstream Bitlbee? Anyway, I’m digging the native Twitter support at least. Tab-completed nicks in Irssi. Finally! 😄

Sorry, no idea. I think this only got added to the ui-fix branch, but your best bet would be to contact the author on the #bitlbee IRC channel (Freenode). Good luck!
