As Bill says, Gwibber uses desktop-couch to as a backend database.
What really makes desktop-couch compelling though is the database
pairing and replication support that it offers.  Right now desktop
pairing and replication doesn't work "out of the box" in Fedora
because you either need to open up some firewall ports or you need to
add some code to connect to Canonical's "Ubuntu One" cloud service
(which is another discussion in itself).
