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.

Get the application here.
