Pino: Lightweight Microblogging Client

Productivity Sauce
If your microblogging activities are limited to the Identi.ca and Twitter services, Gwibber might be overkill for your needs. In that case, Pino is exactly what you need. This microblogging client is lightning fast, and it's not overloaded with features you might never use. But it does support multiple accounts, URL shortening, notifications, and even spell checking.
Pino's interface is simplicity itself, and a main toolbar provides quick access to all the key functions. The Preferences window lets you tweak Pino's settings, and most of the available options there are self-explanatory. Installing Pino is not particularly difficult either -- especially if you are using Ubuntu. Just open the terminal and execute the following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:vala-team/ppa sudo add-apt-repository ppa:troorl/pino sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install pino
Running another Linux distro? No problem: the project's download page provides instructions on how to install Pino on other distributions as well as build Pino from the source.
