Yeah, the lack of identi.ca & facebook support weakens my support as
well.

I think instead of trying to replace Gwibber, we should take a good hard
look at their (Ubuntu's) desktop-couch vision, and really see if it is
something we want to leverage (as they are putting a lot of resources
into it).  If not, we should patch this requirement out of Gwibber,
because afaik, it isn't using the couchdb for anything at the moment.
