I love Twitter but when I use my Linux laptop (Ubuntu running Hardy Heron) I don't have many native options for Twitter clients. The preferred native client appears to be Twitux. Though the nascent client is a little primitive for me. Another popular choice is gTwitter though in my experience it's only been marginally better.

Twitter is a social networking platform that keeps you in conversation by allowing you and your friends to follow each others' updates. The service lets users post and read 140-character updates, called tweets. With Twitter, you can do social networking on the fly, from your mobile phone or at your desktop, from a Web browser or a Twitter client.

If you've been using Twitter through its website, I recommend that you use a desktop client instead to further enhance your twitting experience. Since Twitter has become immensely popular, there are tons and tons of available desktop applications that support this great micro-blogging service.

Twitter is a micro-blogging service, very popular at the moment. With twitter, you can quickly communicate via short messages (140 characters). One of its advantages is the ability to subscribe to some accounts in order to receive information in real time.

Twitter is preparing to launch several impressive new features, including a new streaming API that will give desktop client applications real-time access to the user's message timeline. The new streaming API was announced last week at Twitter's Chirp conference, where it was made available to conference attendees on-site for some preliminary experimentation.

The Twitter microblogging service has created a Twitter loves open source page, listing the projects it has released or contributed to. The page lists programs written in Ruby, Scala, Java and C/C++ and some tools.

TTYtter is a console console Twitter client. It's not an application but a python script that allows you to use Twitter just like any advanced Twitter client, but within a terminal. And it's not just for posting tweets, but has advanced options like any other well-known Twitter desktop client.

Previously, the way to connect to Twitter using Pidgin (IM client for yahoo, google talk, msn, etc), was to use a jabber account like google chat, then add Twitter. But Twitter shut down the Jabber service. So it doesn’t work anymore. But now, Pidgin-microblog can do the trick.

Microblogging platforms like Twitter and FriendFeed are all the rage at the moment, but unless you’re selective it’s easy to become overwhelmed by irrelevant content. Enter FLOSS.pro, a Laconica-based microblogging service for free software professionals.
