			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For some time the <a title="Main Page - JabberWiki" href="http://www.jabber.org/">Jabber</a> bot was well enough for <a title="qense - Identi.ca" href="http://identi.ca/qense">my Identi.ca account</a>, but recently I&#8217;ve become a bit more active <a title="Twitter / qense" href="http://twitter.com/qense">on Twitter</a> too. I&#8217;ve also got <a title="Digg / Qense" href="http://digg.com/users/Qense">an account on Digg</a> and <a title="Facebook | Sense Hofstede" href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1138835413">a Facebook profile</a>. It is hard to keep track of them all. I wanted something that would allow me to manage them at one place.</p>
<p><a title="Gwibber in Launchpad" href="https://launchpad.net/gwibber">Gwibber</a> makes it very easy for you to keep an eye on all of them. It is now included in 9.04, jaunty, but can&#8217;t be installed because of a dependency error.<br />
The package <em>python-webkitgtk</em> still required <em>python</em> &lt;2.6, which doesn&#8217;t work in the upcoming release of <a title="Ubuntu Home Page" href="http://www.ubuntu.com/">Ubuntu</a>. This is reported in <a title="Bug #328576 in pywebkitgtk (Ubuntu): “Please sync python-webkit 1.0.2-1 from Debian unstable”" href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pywebkitgtk/+bug/328576">LP #328576</a> and could already fixed while you&#8217;re reading this blog post. The new version of <em>pywebkitgtk</em>, the source package for the dependency of Gwibber, has already been built by Launchad and is currently waiting to be synced with the archives. I already saw the .dsc file in the pool.</p>
<p>Because I couldn&#8217;t wait to use the program I&#8217;ve installed it from <a title="PPA for Gwibber Team" href="https://launchpad.net/~gwibber-team/+archive/ppa">its PPA</a>. It is exactly the same version that is included with 9.04.</p>
<p>The program works actually quite good and already adheres to the new notification system, new dents, tweets, shouts and status updates are queued and displayed one by one after Gwibber has checked for new.<br />
Other things you can let it do for you are automatically updating your status in Pidgin and listening the dents or tweets of a particular <a title="#hashtags - Popular" href="http://www.hashtags.org/">hashtag</a>. That&#8217;s really nice. Just click on a tag and a new tab opens.</p>
<p>Like I said before, I&#8217;ve got an account at both Identi.ca and Twitter. I don&#8217;t want to have to send my microblags twice, so Identi.ca automatically sends them to Twitter too. That means there are two entries for the same dent/tweet. Other people are doing this too, so you would expect the list of the latest messages to be a mess with all those duplicates. Fortunately, Gwibber nests messages that are the same. This is the result:</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-317" title="Gwibber, duplicate message" src="http://qense.nl/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/gwibber21.png" alt="Gwibber, duplicate message" width="351" height="61" /><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-316" title="Gwibber, duplicate message unfolded" src="http://qense.nl/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/gwibber11.png" alt="Gwibber, duplicate message unfolded" width="350" height="119" /></p>
<p>Gwibber makes it much easier for me to follow what&#8217;s happening online. Although the Jabber bot also works, the way Gwibbers presents you the messages, the notifications and the support for multiple sites make it a very good application. Rock on, <a title="gwibber-committers in Launchpad" href="https://launchpad.net/~gwibber-committers">Gwibber developers</a>!</p>
