Choqok was gone somewhere? You will ask. For a couple of days ago we talked about the topic and how the developer of this microblogging client for KDE, also Blogilo, announced the abandonment of both applications, hoping to find substitutes for the continuation with its maintenance.

And if it seems that new hands continue to be responsible for maintaining and Choqok Blogilo , but will Mehrdad Momeny, the original developer, who hold a little longer at the helm, until all is firmly attached. So …

is good news, no doubt, but what happened today was not to happen, is that Twitter has removed support version 1.0 of the API, which is based on Chqook. So Choqok longer works with Twitter , and if we add the terrible Normal operation having Identi.ca, which falls every few minutes, and soon will jump to pump. io, which currently is not supported by Choqok …

In short, Choqok is gone, but expected back soon , even with an array of urgency to the problem with Twitter. Meanwhile, pull alternatives (of which we will speak soon, I fear, because I leave that link is a bit dated pasadito).

Unlike what some people think, the alternatives in this case are necessary for those who manage multiple accounts at the same time, the web does not work. And there is TweetDeck, but that also is Polly, which is almost the same but using less resources and integrating with the desktop.
