What microblogging clients are available?

Question

What GUI Twitter clients are there for Ubuntu?

Please include reasons why you like - or highlight features that make a client unique. Please also keep to one client per answer.

This post - as is - is too open ended, and subjective. Please provide guidelines, everyone's opinion of "friendly" is different. Furthermore you may wish to make this simple "What are available Twitter clients for Ubuntu" which would allow users to more objectively answer your question.
@Marco Ceppi: I meant anything that doesn't involve the command line.
Could you please update your post to reflect that? Also: Converted to CW.

Hotot

I've been using hotot, and I am very satisfied, because:

It's lightweight
It has preview for images
Threaded Conversations
Extensions Support (although there aren't any at the moment, AFAIK)
It just looks good

There are a few quirks, this client is new, but improving rapidly.

Add the 'ppa:hotot-team' ppa(see this for how to add a ppa) then install hotot via the software center.

Good. It's faster than gwibber and it installs cleanly in 10.10 (unlike Pino).

Gwibber

Gwibber is the default Microblogging client since 10.04 and offers great features and includes other services (aside from Twitter).

Integrates with Message Indicator
Works post-Authpocalypse
Multiple Column support
Multiple Account support

Gwibber

Installation instructions a la wiki

I like it, but at this point it does seem to leak memory quite badly.

Turpial

Turpial is an excellent and lightweight twitter client. The only thing missing is multi account support.

Turpial Add the 'ppa:effie-jayx/turpial' ppa(see this for how to add a ppa) then install turpial via the software center.

Pino

A great client for Linux that runs on the Vala language. There is a PPA to install from.

The PPAs that are needed are here.

	Can you link up the PPA? It would make this answer much more useful – Jorge Castro Oct 12 '10 at 20:13
	Added the download link; the PPAs are under that link. – gamerchick02 Oct 13 '10 at 22:34
	Pino is great. Hope it makes into the repos by 11.04 – LFC_fan Oct 14 '10 at 16:05
	PPA doesn't work for 10.10. :( – Andrea Spadaccini Feb 5 '11 at 10:49

Pwytter

The client is developing. Yet what I like is its portable and can be tweaked to your need if you know python. Since It is developed in python with tkinter.
