Re: [orca-list] Twitter Clients

Your best bet might be to use ttytter; it runs in the commandline (gnome 
terminal or vc).  You can make a kind of "virtual timeline", by setting 
the client to use no default timeline, then adding particular hashtags 
or users for the client to track; it will filter the public timeline, in 
that case.  Another option would be to have a separate ttytter instance 
for each timeline you want to follow; you'd launch each one, specifying 
a different keyfile and configuration on the command line.  You could 
even set a different notification scheme and soundpack for each, 
allowing you to know which instance got an update, as it happened. 
Ttytter's extension mechanism can make it scarily powerful!  If you're a 
perl wizard, the sky's the limit.  if ttytter is not in your distro's 
repos, it's easy enough to drop in where you want it.  Additionally, I 
recommend getting Term::readline::ttytter; it's a package on cpan.  Both 
ttytter and term::readline::ttytter are in the Arch repos.
