[...] release was “social from the start.” Originally this was going to mean including the Gwibber microblogging client in Ubuntu, but the new version was not ready in time. It is still available in the repositories. [...]

I wonder if some kind person could create a VMWare “ThinApp” of this?

no I mean normal links, they are opened in the client, no browser. I found the back button right clicking.

About FB in the “Errors” window I messages like:
Protocol: “facebook”
Message: “retrieve messages” and in red “RunTimeError: Session key not set. Make sue auth.getSession has been called.” As I said I am unable to “Authorise Gwibber” because clicking on “Request Login Code” nothing happens.

I think the two things are related, perhaps a page should open in the browser.

The system is a fresh linux installation, maybe I have to tweak something ?

Do you mean the hashtags and group tags and such? Those are supposed to open in a tab in Gwibber because what’s the point of a desktop app if you’re always going to the browser? Normal links should open in browser though.

(running on linux Mint 7 KDE, based on kubuntu 9.04)
It’s great, I like the interface and themes, but there’s something I don’t understand:
1) when I click on a link why does it open the page in the client windos ? There’s no “back” button, and no way to make it open into a browser
2) the Facebook “Request Login Code” button doesn’t do anything, what should happen ?

I have used pidgin to post and follow microblog posts. It is not as cool as gwibber though. I suggest you all upgrade to linux

I think the best your gonna get on Windows right now would be AlertThingy V2. It’s an AIR App.

It won’t be an Air app. It’s written in Python, I believe, and uses WebKit rendering. Someone has stepped up and started asking questions about the implementation because they want to port it to KDE. Making it work on KDE will make it extremely easy to port to Windows. At one point it did work with Windows, but it is now closely tied to GConf for GNOME integration. The KDE work would add a backend that is, I think, compatible with Windows, since KDE can run on Windows.

“If you’re not already using one of those, it’s probably not worth the trouble to install it just for this one program, but it is possible to do.” – Blake

Just to add some perspective to Blake’s comment about it being worth installing andLinux… I tried it. It’s a screaming nightmare. There’s some very strange bugs in the andLinux beta around network connections, and you can’t install or use gwibber without a network connection. Their forums are loaded with

I finally gave up. I’m sure andLinux will get this sorted out, but for now, like Blake says, it isn’t worth it to install andLinux just for Gwibber.

Boy would it be cool if someone ported this or turned it into an Adobe Air app.

Is there a decent windows alternative to this? I feel like there’s really no point to get into micro-blogging at all without something like this.

Someone volunteered yesterday to try to add a KDE-backend to it (instead of just gconf). This would allow it to be ported to Windows more easily.

Windows users can try coLinux or andLinux, if you want to run Linux apps. If you're not already using one of those, it's probably not worth the trouble to install it just for this one program, but it is possible to do.
