# Simple twitter reader

**Simple twitter reader**

This is a simple pygtk-based application that puts an icon in your
system tray, that shows a simple window containing your friends tweets
when you click on it. Web links inside tweets as well as @someone or
#subject tags are clickable, and there is a settings dialog to set your
twitter username and preferred browser. The icon turns green when there
are new unread tweets.It has no other fancy function like posting
tweets, since I usually post everything to identi.ca with pidgin...
It works on debian squeeze, still untested on other platforms. You need
the python-twitter and python-sexy packages installed.
