Best Microblogging Client

Gwibber

Runner-up: Choqok

Our top two microblogging clients from last year retain their status as class favorites. Gwibber and Choqok, GNOME- and KDE-native, respectively, garnered the most votes again this year. The ever-popular AIR application TweetDeck is right on their heels, however, and it's throwing in its cross-platform flexibility to make the contest interesting. Native clients (with odd names) still hold favor among readers, but those fancy Adobe AIR and HTML5 alternatives slowly are gaining ground. Who will win next year? We'll be sure to tweet the answer when the time comes.
