What microblogging clients are available? [closed]

Solution 1:

Hotot

I've been using hotot, and I am very satisfied, because:

  • It's lightweight
  • It has preview for images
  • Threaded Conversations
  • Extensions Support (although there aren't any at the moment, AFAIK)
  • It just looks good

There are a few quirks, this client is new, but improving rapidly.

Add the 'ppa:hotot-team' ppa(see this for how to add a ppa) then install hotot via the software center.

Solution 2:

Gwibber

Gwibber is the default Microblogging client since 10.04 and offers great features and includes other services (aside from Twitter).

  • Integrates with Message Indicator
  • Works post-Authpocalypse
  • Multiple Column support
  • Multiple Account support

Solution 3:

Turpial

Turpial is an excellent and lightweight twitter client. The only thing missing is multi account support.

Turpial Add the 'ppa:effie-jayx/turpial' ppa(see this for how to add a ppa) then install turpial via the software center.
