Tweetlet is a GNOME screenlet that displays the latest tweets of your favorite twitter website and updates them periodically direct on your desktop.
IMPORTANT: the Tweetlet depends on the Croatoan Lib which is available at http://snakenet.org/croatoan and can be downloaded for free.
About Screenlets:
Screenlets is the name of both a set of independently-developed widget applications and the widget engine which runs them. The engine runs primarily on X11-based compositing window managers, most notably the Compiz (under Linux) architecture.
Until 0.0.14, screenlets were exclusively scripted in Python and drawn in SVG. Afterward, support was added for web widgets (widgets which are written in HTML, JavaScript and CSS, similar to widgets for Apple Inc.'s Dashboard).
