Hey all.

I just got frustrated by gwibber enough. I only used it for tweets and never used it to post stuff, since i liked those nice popup images. Well time has come to say goodbye to gwibber since it was drilling a hole in my hdd and eating cpu all the time. On laptop its a no-go.

Welcome twitachu:

I created Twitachu to accomplish following goals:
- get your tweets and when they arrive put them up using nice notification mechanism already on ubuntu (libnotify)
- when your screen saver is up it waits for you and shows you backlog of 20 tweets
- easy to setup using oauth with PIN
- minimise network traffic by keeping twitter profile image cache

Go on http://pleasanthacking.com/2011/06/26/twitachu/ and let me know how do you like it

Cheers
