Hotot for Ubuntu

Twitter is one of the best social network today. There are many Twitter client available. One of them is Hotot, an open-source microblogging client. It is founded by Shellex Wai. There are many user using this microblogging client.

 

I used it since yesterday and I think it’s better than Tweetdeck or DestroyTwitter. And sure, in my honest opinion this software is lot better than Gwibber. This is simpler but more powerful.
