I've used hotot off and on, and have to say that my opinion runs hot and cold. In its favor, the ui (timeline in particular) is fairly nicely designed, and its strongest features basically covers all the features that are weakest in gwibber - native retweet support, managing follows/unfollows, profile info, etc.. However, gwibber wins hands-down when it comes to managing multiple accounts and streams (even if you just limit consideration to twitter and identi.ca services). Because of the number of accounts I manage (personal and work-related), gwibber remains my primary choice. > > Rahul > > -- > desktop mailing list > desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop > -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
