Twitter and Ubuntu

Posted by Panji Nushantara | Monday, March 23, 2009

Who never use Twitter?

Me !!! I admit, I only heard about it but never use it.

Linuxhaxor posted great article about Twitter clients for Linux. While I’m not (yet) into Twitter myself, I don’t even have Twitter account, I think this is a good info to pass on to fellow Ubuntu-ers who Tweet.

And a good reason to start Tweet-ing.

…after a while…

Now I just create a Twitter account, let’s see how much fun I can give to and take from it :) So which Twitter client I’ll use?

And for those who are like me, here’s a link to 7 things you should know about Twitter.

Twitter Clients that already listed on Ubuntu 8.10 synaptic package manager are :

  • phython-twitter
  • gtwitter
  • prism-twitter
  • twitux
  • choqok (for KDE, that means Kubuntu)

I decided to use twitux as my Twitter client, it's small and get the jobs done.


Yup, that's my twitter id up there, but I urge you not to follow me. I don't have interesting stuff to tweet.

    Check out both Identi.ca (open source microblogging service), and Gwibber, a client that does Twitter and Identi.ca (among others). There's a Gwibber PPA on Launchpad, but it'll be in Jaunty's repository.

    @Mackenzie : thank you for you info. Gwibber? OK I'll give it a try.

    (wow ubuntu users are the group with most posts at identi.ca :) )

    For those interested in Gwibber here's how to install Gwibber.
