Deskbar Twitter

The Deskbar Twitter applet for GNOME is a fantastic tool for staying connected with your Twitter account. Within the GNOME widget, you can open applications, access web searches, and browse through your browser history. Although it may not be as impressive as Quicksilver, it's definitely more efficient than Launchy. The applet pops up when you use a specific key combo (like CTRL+SPACE) and presents you with all the important information from your Twitter feed.

Twitter is a popular social media platform that allows you to remain updated on the activities of your friends via SMS, IMs, or the web. However, the Deskbar Twitter applet requires that you have Python, Deskbar, and GNOME installed to function optimally. You can succinctly obtain the applet by following some quick instructions.

Firstly, install Python-Twitter. Secondly, download the Deskbar Twitter applet and Twitter.png and add them to the following location : ~/.gnome2/deskbar-applet/handlers/. Next, open the deskbar-twitter.py file you downloaded and change the TWITTER_USERNAME and TWITTER_PASSWORD to the relevant details. Lastly, replace YOUR_USERNAME with your Ubuntu username. With these simple steps, you can use Deskbar Twitter without hassle.
