Pino is Twitter and Identi.ca client for Linux desktop. It's simple and fast. It written on Vala language and compiles to the native binary code
Install pino-twitter in Ubuntu 10.04/9.10
Open the terminal and run the following commands
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:vala-team/ppa
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:troorl/pino
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pino

I get this error when executing “sudo add-apt-repository ppa:vala-team/ppa”.
gpg: keyserver receive failed: keyserver error
Ubuntu team, please replace gwibber with pino!!
Gwibber is the worst I’ve ever seen
Great ! I like… but …
-1- with 2 accounts (Identi.ca + Twitter), impossible to have both at the same time, or both in different tab… I must go in a menu to switch to the 2nd account 🙁
-2- when I switch from one to the 2nd accound, Pino reload messages … take some seconds (it’s not keep in memory ?)
-3- no option to configure the color of the messages or background (I want different colors between my Identi.ca and my Twitter) …
Seem great, but need very little improvement
😉
ok, I see …
I really need the futur Pino : 0.3.x 😉
General features for 0.3.x release:
Support for multi accounts without switching <— Great !!!
Support for OAuth in Twitter
Support for any other services, not only for twitter-like
Using librest for Twitter (and maybe for Facebook)
😉
Complete coincidence you publish this article on the same day I’m trying to work out how to install it…
+1 on rEnr3n’s comment – I’m getting this:
gpg: requesting key 7DAAC99C from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com
gpgkeys: HTTP fetch error 7: couldn’t connect to host
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
gpg: Total number processed: 0
It lacks feature to make the tweet read/unread. It’s not flexible. I hope it could be in the next versions.
@Chris Keyserver might be down at that time. I’ve installed it successfully after few hours.
no maverick pino ppa ?? 🙁

There are no packages for lucid. Development on this project kinda died off a while ago. Which is a pity as it showed potential. Gwibber is a terrible client, but sadly the only one that I’ve found even remotely usable on Ubuntu which is a sad state of affairs indeed.
