What are GUI Twitter clients for Ubuntu?
Please include reasons why you like - or highlight features that make a client unique. Please also keep one client per answer.

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.
And they have a PPA, so to install via CLI:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hotot-team
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install hototFrom Decio Lira -
I use DestroyTwitter
It's Adobe AIR but has a super low memory footprint < 25MB.

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
Installation instructions a la wiki
Nerdfest : I like it, but at this point it does seem to leak memory quite badly.From Marco Ceppi -
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.

Yoono
Although I have only used it as firefox addon. It runs as desktop application as well I think.

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.
Jorge Castro : @gamerchick02 Can you link up the PPA? It would make this answer much more usefulgamerchick02 : Added the download link; the PPAs are under that link.LFC_fan : Pino is great. Hope it makes into the repos by 11.04From gamerchick02 -
The Deskbar applet is another way to post to twitter. Deskbar is in the Ubuntu Repos.

gTwitter is a lightweight twitter app that uses GTK+. See the link for an Ubuntu PPA.

Choqok is a KDE app that works well. It uses a lot of KDE libraries, so be aware of that.

Finally, Tweetdeck is an Adobe AIR application that works with Twitter, Facebook, and Buzz. It also has experimental status.net support.

Turpial is excellent. The only thing missing is multi account support.
Official Website
The website have all the features listed with screenshots. I wanted to post screens but my reputation is low :(
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:effie-jayx/turpial sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install turpial
