I notice the main complaint about Gwibber is the deplist it pulls in when installing it. Current version 2.33 of Gwibber is a lot lighter on dependencies, and supports OAuth for working with Twitter. Also works well with identi.ca, as I use it to read/post to both. gwibber-2.33.0-7.867bzr.fc13.noarch A quick and unscientific 'yum deplist gwibber' gives this list (edited somewhat for readability): Finding dependencies: package: gwibber.noarch 1:2.33.0-7.867bzr.fc13 dependency: python-feedparser >= 4.1 dependency: gnome-python2-gtkspell dependency: python(abi) = 2.6 dependency: pywebkitgtk >= 1.0.1 dependency: python-kitchen dependency: python-pycurl dependency: gnome-python2-gnomekeyring dependency: mx >= 3.0.0 dependency: python-mako >= 0.2.2 dependency: python-distutils-extra dependency: python-imaging >= 1.1.6 dependency: notify-python >= 0.1.1 dependency: pyxdg >= 0.15 dependency: gnome-python2-libwnck dependency: dbus-python >= 0.80.2 dependency: /usr/bin/python dependency: gnome-python2-gconf >= 2.18.0 dependency: libsoup dependency: python dependency: python-simplejson >= 1.9.1 dependency: pygtk2 >= 2.10.4 dependency: python-oauth The main noticeable difference, there are no couch or erlang dependencies. It may still not fit on a livecd image, but Gwibber has definitely improved a lot with the work to support SQLite instead of the earlier couchdb backend. And the great work of the maintainer to get the updates into the repo for us to use. It also appears as 'Gwibber-Fedora' on Twitter, when making a post - which is a nice little touch. Having used Pino when F13 was released, and seeing the updates to Gwibber, I can't see any reason why one wouldn't swap to Gwibber (current UI is much better), but I don't see a problem with there being no default application installed. Just my few cents worth as a happy Gwibber user, and lurker on this list.
