Microblogging
Tumben buka Twitter untuk melakukan microblogging dua hari lalu, karena tumben dapet koneksi Internet di laptop. Biasanya di mobile saya cuman perbaharui status lewat layanan Ping.fm :D
Tapi apa daya, saya dapet pesan ini :
Lah sekarang saya coba masih sama saja, kok burung saya dikurung sih OOM T.T

The news is that Ubuntu Lucid Lynx incorporates social media into its desktop application. Ubuntu Lucid Lynx integrates Gwibber, an open source microblogging, into its desktop. Gwibber promises seamless stream of information from popular social media such as twitter, facebook, friend feed, etc. Let us see how Gwibber compare to existing social media desktop applications.
TweetDeck
TweetDeck is a popular social media desktop application that allow us to connect to Twitter, FaceBook, MySpace, and linked. Tweetdeck is able to shorten URL using bit.ly. My favourite feature in TweetDeck is that I can create my twitter list, and view trending topic in twitter. I am also able to watch you tube or view image gallery directly from Tweet Deck.
Seesmic
Seesmic is build on top of Adobe Air. Seesmic user will be able to use Seesmic to manage their twitter and facebook conversation. It also allow us to drag and drop images from our webcam to share it with our peers. Seesmic is very similiar to TweetDeck.
Gwibber
Gwibber is quite new compare to Seesmic and Tweet Deck. It is an open source software based on python and webkit. Gwibber allow us to connect to Identi.ca, Digg, Jaiku, Facebook, Pownce, Flickr, Facebook, and Twitter. Gwibber is maintained by Ryan Paul of Ars Technica. Gwibber promises a lot of neat functionalities in the future. It is still Alpha release but as of now, it has been quite stable for me.
Comparison
| Application | Supported Social Media Site | Technology | Platform |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tweet Deck | Twitter, Facebook, Linked In, MySpace | Adobe Air | Windows, Linux, Mac |
| Seesmic | Twitter, Facebook | Adobe Air | Windows, Linux, Mac |

Twitter, identi.ca and Facebook have become an increasingly common medium in which people are communicating. While Google Wave vies to be the next generation of communication (as we waxed lyrical about on the recent Shot Of Jaq), in reality email and microblogging are unlikely to be unseated as primary methods of communication. Naturally, we want to make these methods of connecting people rock good and hard in Ubuntu.
Today Ken VanDine uploaded a new Gwibber to Lucid which adds improved reliability, multi-column views, a new theme and more. It looks like this:
I love you Ryan Paul. I cried 140 individual tears of joy.
This leads me to a simple conclusion:
Goodbye Tweetdeck. You suck considerably more than Gwibber.
No more ugly Adobe Air app. No more closed source Twitter client. No more lack of identi.ca support. No more horrible notification bubbles. Instead, sweet, native, effortless microblogging, right from my Ubuntu desktop. A veritable ass kicking at at it’s finest.
Now, this is cool in of itself, but then combine it with the ability to tweet/dent right from the Me menu:
Microblogging built in, sleek and elegant. I am stoked, and Gwibber is rocking the house. Also, if you are the opportunistically development minded, don’t forget that you can build microblogging support into your apps with Gwibber’s API too, and there will be a session on how to do this at Ubuntu Opportunistic Developer Week.
