(Rails) Is there a Koala equivalent for Twitter? - ruby-on-rails

Koala provides a very easy way to post a status update on a user's wall for Facebook. I was wondering if a gem existed to do similar things with Twitter: in other words, I'm looking for a gem that makes it easy to allow your application to tweet something for a user.
Any suggestions much appreciated.

This is well documented and maintained:

Can you search for posts / news / links, etc... a user likes in facebook using Koala gem for rails?

I'm testing out the Koala gem for rails and facebook api. I'm trying to figure out if there is a way of searching and displaying all of 'a' user's liked posts, news, links, etc.. using Koala gem.
Anyone know where to possibly start? I was thinking #graph.search('me', 'likes') ??

Getting Twitter data from RoR app

I have a RoR 3 application and I'm trying to integrate it with Twitter. So what do I need?
I need to count how many tweets with a certain hashtag (like #awesometag) were tweeted by users that follow me.
There are many ways to do this, as I saw while searching online. However, I want to know the most reliable way to do this.
Thanks!
There is a Twitter gem for all this stuff. If im not mistaken there is a Search class for doing what you want. More info about this gem

rails Gem's the Access the GMAIL, Y! Contact Lists via an API

Anyone know of any solid GEMs that integrate with the GMAIl and Y! Mail APIs to download a user's contacts (emails)?
thanks
You login to gmail using AuthSub mechanism. https://github.com/stuart/google-authsub
Try google contacts using some method as :
http://blog.adsdevshop.com/2008/04/18/import-gmail-contacts-using-ruby-on-rails/
For gmail it's easy: https://rubygems.org/gems/gmail or maybe better for your purpose: https://rubygems.org/gems/gmail_contacts
I'm gonna have another look for yahoo...
EDIT 1:
yahoo is supposed to be part of https://github.com/mislav/contacts but no example given
EDIT 2:
Another way to see the question is to use the opensocial API as mentionned here. It could be a worthy generic solution even if resources are a bit scattered.
Maybe contacts gem: https://github.com/cardmagic/contacts

Rails 3 facebook plugin/gem?

Does anyone know of a good Rails 3 compatible gem or plugin that support the Facebook API (rather Graph API but old REST is ok too)? Mostly for getting profile picture, info, friends and posting on wall.
I am looking for something that seems to be maintained well so I know I can count on it in the future as well.
Koala :- A lightweight, flexible library for Facebook with support for OAuth authentication, the Graph and REST API's, real time updates, and test users.

I found Mini_fb as quite good one. Try it.
Well written, well maintained (as at time of posting) https://github.com/nov/fb_graph
