I use multiple Twitter, Facebook and Identi.ca accounts. I am sure
that I am not the only one.
Problem: Pidgin, Empathy and the MeMenu only allow me to use one
Twitter Account. Twitter needs to be authorised and it appears that
the authorisation process only assumes one account. The MeMenu in
10.10 is even worse. Every time I start it, my accounts show only my
Identi.ca ones. No Facebook. No Twitter. I re-enter and the same thing
happens next time I logon. I have just about given up on Pidgin and
Ubuntu's MeMenu.
Partial solution: Choqok works in both GNOME and KDE and allows me to
use multiple Identi.ca and Twitter accounts, but no Facebook and I
can't post the same tweet to mulitple accounts at once. Tweetdeck is
the best in that it allows multiple everything and
multi-tweeting/denting, but it will work only in KDE or GNOME, not
both. It appears to have to do with the way it stores information. If
I follow Adobe's fix in Ubuntu then it will no longer work in Kubuntu
and vice versa.
Since I use both interchangeably this is a pain. I am testing Gnome
Shell at present, but have to do without Tweetdeck. Choqok works fine
in GNOME provided I don't mind being limited. I am not one who likes
limitations.Using two desktop environments is becoming a hassle. It
never used to be that way. :(
I am finding Ubuntu's MeMenu to be a work in progress and the current
state is poor, at least for my purposes. I am not sure if Pidgin on
other distributions is better and this is just a Ubuntu thing or if it
is universal. MeMenu is all Ubuntu's fault.
This is partial venting and partial wondering if other multiple
Twitter accounts are working for others.
