Integrating twitter,facebook and other services in one single site

Hi all,

I need to develop an application which should help me in getting all the status,messages from different servers like Twitter,facebook etc in my application and also when i post a message it should gets updated in all the services. I am using authlogic for authentication. Can anyone suggest me what gems/plug-ins i can use..

I need API help to get all the tweets/messages to be displayed in my application and also ways to post the messages to the corresponding services by posting it from my application. Can anyone help me from design point.

A: 

Posting to Twitter and Facebook can be easily done using services such as twitterfeed.com; that only requires you to publish an RSS or Atom feed from your webapp.

Displaying tweets can be done using Remy Sharp's twitter.js (JavaScript). For Facebook and other services, you'll have to find a different solution; maybe publishing on Twitter and from there on to other services.

Edit: I remembered a nice way to pull tweets into your site. If by "two-way" you mean both at once, using a single module: don't try. Separate the problem into publishing/pushing and reading/pulling.
