Gwibber is a tool that allows you to use social networking on Linux, in a very nice looking interface. Gwibber on Jaunty supports: Ping.fm, RSS feeds, Flickr, Facebook, Jaiku, Laconi.ca, Twitter, Digg, Pidgin and Identi.ca out of the box. I am using it for my twitter and Identi.ca accounts, and it works great.
Installation
To install gwibber, you can use the Synaptic Package Manager, or just open a terminal and run ‘sudo apt-get install gwibber’.
Run it
Once you install it, it will be under the Internet tab of your menu.
Setup your accounts
From here you can add the accounts you want to use. In this example I setup a twitter and an identi.ca accounts. One thing I have here is that both are set to receive, but for send I only have identi.ca marked. So when I type in the input box, it only sends to identi.ca. I then have identi.ca send it to twitter.
Gwibber in action
Once everything is set up, it will look something like this. Have fun, you can adjust the color of each service to see what is coming from where also.
Jaunty Notifications
And every time someone twitters / identi.ca’s whatever, the new Jaunty notifications pop up and look fantastic.
