Re: [orca-list] twitter app with orca

No, no twitter clients. 
Gwibber can be used, or at least could with precise and vinux4, but it's less than ideal.
Another solution that's not great if you get lots of tweets is to set up twitter with thunderbird's native 
chat 
functionality, and instantbird is similar but a chat only mozilla application.
Many of us use ttytter. It is commandline, but can be run well from a gnome or other terminal emulator and 
has some 
extensions that work nicely in the gui. I use it in vt consoles myself however. It takes a bit of getting 
used to as you 
use two character codes to work with tweets, i.e. you have a tweet labeled as e5. They go in order from a0 
from the time 
you log-in to a session. So to retweet you do something like 
/rt e5
or to reply
/reply e5 Are you crazy? I'd never use anything but #ttytter!
Actually, I've set up t-bird, but seldom use it as tweets display in a screenreader unfriendly grid and I get 
more than a 
thousand a day. I also use bitlbee for twitter, but it doesn't do as much as ttytter which can do almost 
anything that is 
possible with twitter and similar services. Bitlbee lets you rt, reply and a couple other things, but with 
ttytter you can 
open urls directly, do easy searches and get tweets for a specific user, etc. 
All the pidgin pluggg-ins for twitter were broken last I tried, and I even built some from source. One kind 
of almost 
worked, at least let me log-in once, but then would not after restarting pidgin, so I'm sure some one who 
studied the 
twitter api mess could fix one or more of the plug-ins but guess no one cared enough. On the other hand, it's 
not that 
easy  dealing with twitter I guess from what I hear.
