Re: [orca-list] Twitter?

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,
I apologize for the double posting.
I have forgotten to actually reply to the question and I have only 
included my other comments related to corebird.
I think corebird can issue standard notifications like all the other 
apps e.g. thunderbird. Inside the settings window there are switches 
where you can toggle notifications for new mentions, follows and DM's. 
There is a combobox where you can choose how if at all to notify about 
new tweets. I haven't tested this functionality however knowing that 
corebird depends on libnotify I assume it will be accessible like the 
other gtk notifications.

Greetings

Peter
