As many know I package the wonderful microblogging/social network client that is Gwibber. For a short while there it was refusing to run for many of us on openSUSE, but many thanks to Ryan Paul (the author) these bugs were fixed. Not only that but a slew of new features have been added, some slightly less stable than others but they do work . I have just submitted a new version (r118) to the darling Build Service which will fix the issue of not being able to edit account details etc.

I have also created a simple but fairly comprehensive Gwibber User Guide with some screenshots etc. This should hopefully help people get the most out of this great little app, this is a kind of unofficial doc pending the real deal so be gentle with your comments, which I would like to hear

Talking of social networks and things, it was brought to my attention the other day via Twitter about a couple of fairly useful sites that interact with the likes of Twitter:

Tweet What You Spend - Cash tracking made simple through Twitter
An accounts ledger where you can use Twitter for the entry of details and other items

Fuel Frog - Track your fuel usage and mileage
Use Twitter to enter you fuel and mileage to get a good overview of what and how your is doing with all that fine fossil fuel.

Personally I think they are actually good uses of services like Twitter, where you can send the message from almost any where so you never really have to worry about putting the receipt in a safe place and sitting down later to do all those boring accounts related chores.

I'm sure there are many more out there, do people know of others? If you do, please leave a comment with the details, I'm curious as to how far the use of Twitter, identi.ca and others can be taken.
