My only concern is the bulking up of all layers at the top of web browsers. This leaves less actual page view when we continue to add more horizontal bars. Thanks for the intro to this option. I just plain love twitter. Debby Look kinda neat. My only concern is the bulking up of all layers at the top of web browsers.

Could you write a plugin for Google Buzz? I think it must be fairly easy to do but I'm the worst programmer ever. Cool. Could you write a plugin for Google Buzz?

I just started using Ubuntu as my main OS and this seems like a good way to get to know my way around it. I will also play with your code and let you know if I can contribute to it.

I don’t use Twitter but I like the concept, and your tool is perfect

However, I don’t think everybody wants to go through installing that lib (unless there are distro packages),
so I made my own version using only HTTP methods (which are included by default I think)

anyway here is it

it’s still far from perfect but I tried it and it worked

Again very nice tool, I think I’ll give this twitter thing a try :)

Please note you point to the icon “twitter.png”, but provided an icon called “deskbar-twitter.png”, so you should change one of them to get the icon working.

But furthermore: this is really cool, i’ll post it at forums i’m visiting very often!
