I installed Gwibber today (it’s a microblogging client, that handles Twitter, Identi.ca, Facebook updates, Pownce, and some others) from Andrew Wafaa’s packages using one-click. Very nice! 

What I like most is that I can post directly to my Twitter and Identi.ca accounts simultaneously, and reply to comments on either service easily. It also grabs updates a regular interval (I use the default 15 minute refresh rate. Might set that higher to avoid distractions, though.)

If you’re getting geared up to participate in Hack Week III next week, I recommend getting Gwibber and doing a little microblogging about your progress — quick, easy, and simple. Make sure to mention #opensuse in your posts. (Hashtags are good!)

Major thanks to openSUSE superstar Andrew Wafaa for packaging Gwibber, Sandy Armstrong for giving Andrew an assist with the dependencies, and Ars writer Ryan Paul for writing it in the first place.
