One small bug: Andrew from WebUpd8 found that it didn't post to twitter. 
He said this:

Hmmm it doesn't work. When clicked, the button in Rhythmbox turns into 
"Sent HTTP Error 404: Not Found". I think it's because Twitter will soon 
(if not already) only support OAuth for posting to Twitter via external 
clients.
