I am helping my senior, @somsak to test and develop microblog-purple, a gateway to microblog world. This project aims to provide plugins for Pidgin and libpurple to connect to most popular microblog services, e.g., Twitter and NokNok.

My main role is linux version including packaging for debian-based distribution.

w00t! Now microblog-purple aka mbpurple is also available in ppa.

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/sugree/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/sugree/ubuntu hardy main

And then:

sudo apt-get install pidgin-microblog
