Tweet Tweet in Linux Gnome...

If your using twitter for your sms type communications, and I highly recommend you do. Linux users will really like the twitux application for Gnome. It has a mozilla like icon that sits in the system tray and will notify you of new tweets and allows you to publish tweets directly to your twitter account.

The latest client uses https for it's updates instead of regular http giving some added security.

One major feature that is missing is the minimize to system tray when you click the close widget. Like most instant messengers this feature should be built in, I hope the author includes this feature soon.

A thumbs up though, this is a cool application for the Gnome desktop.

The project can be found at http://live.gnome.org/DanielMorales/Twitux

SVN:

svn co https://twitux.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/twitux/trunk twitux

Enjoy!!!
