I checked if there is any twitter client for linux, found 2 at a first glance. Twidge a CLI client and gtwitter a gnome GTK one. I’d like to show you how to use twidge and to worship to goddess of geekness.

Things you need:

  2. A twitter account

Preparation:

  1. open up terminal and type: sudo apt-get install twidge to install twidge
  2. than type: twidge setup
  3. enter your twitter username and password as directed.
  4. (optional) type: twidge lscommands to see all commands available, also you can type: twidge <the command you want to get help about> –help
  5. type: twidge update “Yay! This is my first tweet on command line, im so geek!”
  6. enjoy.

Preferably:
