Our "Best Linux Twitter Client" poll ended today. And the winner is.... (no surprise here): Hotot (40%), followed by Gwibber (29%) and Choqok (13.7%).

Here are the exact poll results:

Best Linux Twitter Client

Pino would have probably gotten a lot more votes if it worked with OAuth (even though it does work without OAuth with a trick, but most people probably don't know that). Either way, it's amazing how an application (Hotot) which until 2 months ago nobody knew it exists now takes the first spot of the Best Linux Twitter Client poll.

Because there are many Twitter clients out there, we asked you to nominate the best Twitter client in a comment on a post last week. Today, you all get to vote for the best Linux Twitter client based on your nominations (top 5 nominations). So, which of the following is the best Linux Twitter client?

This post is not an actual poll, but only for nominating the best Twitter client for Linux. So, what's the best Linux Twitter client? What you must do is simply write a comment on this post stating your vote. Example: "vote Pino". You can of course discuss on the subject too, but firstly make sure you enter your vote.

The 5 most nominated applications will then be included in a poll next week. Please only nominate one Twitter application!

We're using nominations because there are a lot of Linux Twitter clients and I don't know which are the most popular 5 to use in a poll. Also, if we'd only vote using the comment system, the votes wouldn't be very accurate since a lot of people don't like to comment and just want to click the "vote" button. So, to have more accurate results, the actual poll will run in a week after todays' nominations and will include the top 5 most nominated Linux Twitter clients.

As usual, you can vote for something not among the default options by choosing "other" and then entering your answer.
