Turpial 1.3.3 – A native Twitter client for Linux
In the past Ive been unimpressed by native, locally installed Twitter apps, so it was with a little hesitance I checked out Turpial, which came to me courtesy of a link which was announced on Twitter.
As you would expect of any Twitter client, Turpial allows you to set the frequency of updates. These can be set in minute intervals with the default being a rather long 3 minutes. You can also seperately set the time delay of mentions and direct messages – all very nice, although somewhat over complicating the issue in my opinion.
Contained within the package is the ability to shorten URL’s, this is achieved by offering one of quite a few services including is.gd, Tinyurl and a host of others. This is very useful as I think Tinyurl is not so tiny any more compared to services offered by others. There is also a variety of options offered for uploading photographs to your tweets which are all simply selected from the menu system.
Other features would be allowing you to select the browser you wish to use (for looking at Tweet web links) which means that it doesn’t have to be your default browser.
