Why I quit posting on forums

Forums were once a place where it was possible to talk to interesting people about interesting things in an environment that was not only enjoyable but intelligent. Over the last few years I have been a major part of a few forums and a minor part for many others. Sadly I feel these forums are something I no longer wish to take part in. It saddens me that the subjects, the people and the level of conversation have reached a level to which I no longer wish to participate.

My top 5 favorite Twitter clients for Linux

Filed under: Linux,Social Networking — Rich @ 7:53 AM 04/03/2010

I have been using Linux for quite a while now and have been searching to find a great all round twitter client. After spending a few days trying out a few I thought I would share my experiences with them. One of the things I will say for all of these applications is how well they have kept with the ‘simplicity is best’ style of the twitter website, something I personally feel is a quite important element.

What ever you’re looking for in a twitter client you should be able to find it in the following list. Also if you think I have missed any or have a recommendation please feel free to let me know via a comment.
