“Ubuntu 10.04 codenamed Lucid Lynx is on the verge of
its final descent. A lot of new things are coming your way. Ubuntu
Artwork Pool in Flickr is buzzing with activity, so is the awesome
Community Contributed Themes at Ubuntu Artwork Wiki page. But apart
from these eye candy, in a more subtle way, a number of new
applications are also in the pipeline. Let’s explore these new
comers.

“The buzz word is social, and you can’t have a distro without a
microblogging client these days. The world is more twitterish and
facebookish than ever before and hence comes the Gwibber
microblogging client.

“Gwibber is arguably the most popular microblogging client
application in Linux(at least in Ubuntu) and it comes as default in
Ubuntu Lucid 10.04. That is indeed welcome. Gwibber supports all
popular social networking services like Twitter, Facebook,
Identi.ca, Digg, FriendFeed and so on.”
