Social networking
In an effort to make the Ubuntu Desktop more social, we want to drive more social features down to desktop applications, not limiting users to the web browser experience. Gwibber can be used to post messages and other content to social networking services as well as retrieve content from your social contacts. Gwibber aggregates multiple accounts and services into a single interface making it easy to cross post updates to multiple sites or even just to specific services.
The Gwibber API provides application developers the ability to integrate social networking features directly into their application.
