Gwibber is my new Microblogging Client for Ubuntu

Gwibber in Launchpad

I'm really excited about a new Twitter/ Identi.ca client for my Ubuntu workstation.

Take a look at this screenshot:


To install gwibber on Ubuntu.

1. Install bzr python-cairo-dev and python-simplejson

sudo aptitude install bzr python-cairo-dev python-simplejson



2. Go to a workspace folder.  This command will download the sourcecode from launchpad.net in a folder called gwibber

bzr branch lp:gwibber



3. Follow the install instructions

sudo python setup.py install
