Re: [orca-list] Accessible Twitter client with a GUI

[Dave Hunt <ka1cey gmail com>]

Pidgin-microblog is good for tweeting, favoriting, getting replies, 
following your stream, and basic searching.  I'm not sure it can handle 
direct messages.  You can do '/help', in the conversation area, for the 
plugin's list of commands and options; it's like irc syntax.  Have you 
considered using easychirp.com, in the browser, to work with your 
tweets?  It's fully accessible, and feature-rich., but, you don't get 
streaming updates.  I'm partial to the non-gui client called ttytter; it 
runs in the gnome terminal or text console.


Cheers,



Dave
