Among these are the popular TweetDeck and Anatine applications. Besides the usual web client, you can also install Twitter-specific applications, such as Choqok. If you&#8217;re interested in the more traditional desktop app, Birdie is an excellent choice. It supports multiple accounts, works with most modern GNU\/Linux desktop environments, and even includes notifications from Twitter.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choqok\"><\/span>Choqok<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re on a Linux operating system, you may want to install the Choqok Twitter app. It comes with the openSUSE KDE live DVD. You can link your Twitter account to this app and enter your aliases. You can even upload images to your timeline. The best part of Choqok is that it automatically updates your timeline after 10 minutes. This is useful if you want to keep an eye on a few of your favorite tweets but doesn&#8217;t necessarily need to be updated all the time.<\/p>\n<p>The main window of the app features four tabs that are easily identifiable. These include search, auto spell check, custom browser, and multiple accounts. It also supports various image uploading services. The Twitter account profile images are displayed by icons as you hover over them. The app also allows you to add custom prefixes when you retweet and edit your color scheme. Getting started is as easy as installing the Choqok Twitter app for Linux.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cawbird\"><\/span>Cawbird<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Cawbird Twitter app is a great tool for anyone who wants to keep up with the latest happenings in Twitter. Unlike the web-based version, this application does not require a server to run, and it is highly customizable. The app features a simple interface, reminiscent of a tween&#8217;s timeline, with a minimal scrolling behavior. It can also display media links within tweets, which can be helpful when a user wants to view their timelines in a narrow window.<\/p>\n<p>The interface is simple and intuitive, with various buttons and options available to help users navigate through the app. Among the features included are options for searching Twitter, editing your tweets, and adding emoticons. Unlike other Twitter apps, Cawbird allows you to add images and emoticons to your tweets. If you use an external browser, you can also access Twitter&#8217;s API for a more convenient and customized experience.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"TweetDeck\"><\/span>TweetDeck<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re running Linux, you&#8217;re probably wondering how to use TweetDeck. Its interface might seem complicated at first, but it&#8217;s really quite simple. Its advanced features are hidden away beneath its surface, making it easier for users to understand. You can customize TweetDeck with a keyboard shortcut, if you&#8217;d like. But first, let&#8217;s take a closer look at the application itself.<\/p>\n<p>TweetDeck is a Twitter application that was acquired by Twitter more than a decade ago and released as a freeware web application. It&#8217;s been around for so long that many Linux users stopped using it. However, it&#8217;s no longer a problem to install and use. Moreover, TweetDeck&#8217;s advanced features make it the top choice of most people. And with its latest beta release, you can enjoy some of the advanced features.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Anatine\"><\/span>Anatine<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>An open-source desktop Twitter client, Anatine is free and available for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X. It features multiple keyboard shortcuts, a nice dark theme, and the ability to run in the background even after closing the application. It also offers support for many popular social networking platforms, including Facebook, Google+, and Twitter. You can also install Franz, which is a free cross-platform chat application.<\/p>\n<p>While many users prefer the official Twitter app for Windows and macOS, you can also install Anatine on your Linux-based PC. The interface is similar to that of Twitter&#8217;s mobile website, with three tabs for trending topics, mentions, and direct messages. Like most Twitter apps, Anatine does support a single account, though. You&#8217;ll need to add another account before it will run. The downside to this open-source application is that it is buggy.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rainbow_Stream\"><\/span>Rainbow Stream<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re using Linux, you should download Rainbow Stream for Linux. It is free and released under the MIT License. You can compose and post tweets with Rainbow Stream, search for tweets and view your twitter timeline in a fancy console. It&#8217;s easy to install and use. Follow other users and view your timeline. After installing the program, you can follow them in the following ways:<\/p>\n<p>Installing Rainbow Stream on a Linux system is easy: first, you&#8217;ll need to sign in to your Twitter account. After creating your account, you&#8217;ll need to authorize the application. Next, login with your Twitter credentials and you&#8217;ll receive a pin. If you have multiple Twitter accounts, you&#8217;ll need to log out of the others before installing Rainbow Stream. To switch between accounts, you can use the help option to enter a username and password.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"534\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IUI6uuBavfw\" height=\"299\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is There a Twitter App for Linux?
