Working twitter client

[Steve Searle]

My preferred twitter client choqok doesn't work at the moment because it
has not been updated to support the new authentication method that
twitter now insists upon. I have tried the others listed by a "yum
search twitter" command and can't get any of them to authenticate
either.

Is anyone currently using a working twitter client? I don't like the
browser page - I want my feed updating automatically.

Thanks

Steve

didn't you read Steve's reply and mine too?

We did use yum. Turpial etc all have the same problem.

This maybe of some use:

I am currently running Choqok from there dev branch and it is working well.

I followed your advice, downloaded the source and after a bit of
fiddling around managed to build it and it is working again. I am
blogging the details of how I managed it, and will post a link to this
when I have done it.

Cheers

Here are my notes on how I built a working choqok -

Tweetdeck works quite well, as an addon for chrome you can run it standalone, 
or you can just login to the website with firefox or any other browser.

there used to be an adobe AIR version,but unfortunately it was discontinued :(

Very interesting coincidence. Can't help you unfortunately, just
confirming that exactly the same thing happened to me this morning. On
Fedora 17 x86_64, in case it matters. So I second your request!

I pushed an update for Hotot that gets Twitter working again.  You can get
it from the updates-testing repo

yum --enablerepo=updaes-testing install hotot-gtk  or hotot-qt
