Today we will actually share one of the best twitter clients for Ubuntu that we have found. While looking at which Twitter client to share with you, I found that Cawbird should probably be the only one we recommend to Linux users, and no, it’s not just because of the weird name but the software itself is regularly updated and I like the interface, it is smooth, fluid and easy to navigate, I prefer it over the traditional Twitter app on the phone or through the web.
