How can a user post at Twitter through rails app?

What I want - users of the rails app can post at their twitter account through the app

What I have done so far - I am using Devise and Twitter gems, and have filled all the twitter details at /initializers/twitter.rb file 

Twitter.configure do |config|
  config.consumer_key = ""
  config.consumer_secret = ""
  config.oauth_token = ""
  config.oauth_token_secret = ""
end

now I can create a controller "post_twitter" with index action and a view but I am not sure, how to do the integration with this controller/view and twitter ?

Thanks

In your controller you could use the Twitter class, this is what I have done

def create
    @post = Post.new(params[:post])
    Twitter.update("I'm tweeting with @gem!")
    #code
end

Make sure you enable POST privileges to your Twitter app, and if the Twitter update fails it should give you an error message.
