Hi I'm using a twitter terminal-based client which id very easy of use, its name is twidge.
You have to start your session with
#twidge setup
Then, if you wanna tweet “Hello world”, you have to run
#twidge update “Hello world”
If you wanna see your timeline you run
#twidge lsrecent
and if you wanna see only new tweets, you have to run
#twidge lsrecent -s -u
automatically it makes web addresses shorter, using tinyurl, so if you paste one, your tweet will have a tiny link.

I'm still learning their commands have fun.

There is a package named pidgin-microblog, which gives you availability to add twitter as account. You will have a chat-like window and all twitter history will be saved to your .purple/logs directory if you want to Pretty good, but unforunately Pidgin crashes from time to time with this plugin. Try it though

You not tried TweetDeck http://tweetdeck.com its like Twhirl in that it needs Adobe AIR to run, but can handle multiple twitter accounts and runs great in my Ubuntu 9.04 system.

Nice List - thanks for that, but you forgot Choqok - it runs without AdobeAir!
I'm writing an Article about it on my Blog (german - if there will be much requests i'll maybe translate it in english.)

Here you can find more clients for ubuntu:

and if that's not enough try this:

Have fun and find your favorite!

Adobe Air doesn’t install in 64-bit linux without some extra work. I figured I’d stick with TwitterFox until they take care of that.

I highly recommend Tweetdeck (www.tweetdeck.com). Now you can fill your entire screen with Twitter. Another Air application, requires air 1.5.

Installed TwitKit in Firefox on both my work and home computers (Ubuntu 7.10 and 8.04 respectively). So far no problems, but the plugin does need to mature. It’s still pretty primitive.

I use twitkit for Firefox, Is a completely light firefox add-on that works on linux and all platforms. Open source and the biggest selection languages.
