Why the need for a guide?
Using Ubuntu is like opening the cupboard door to Narnia: the breadth and possibilities available to you are seemingly endless. Sometimes this choice can be intimidating. Part of getting orientated in this new landscape comes from being ‘informed’ – and, lets be honest, dry, technical ‘help’ manuals just don’t cut it.
The Vancouver LoCo decided to address this by creating fun, engaging and easily-accessible guides that anyone will find useful to read.
First on their list was Gwibber.
“We think social networking should be an enjoyable part of your life, not a micromanagement nightmare.”
Continuing: “…back in the autumn of 2010, we set out to create the first guide to Gwibber on Ubuntu. After many months of effort, I am happy to announce that our first version of “Master Social Networking with Gwibber” is complete and ready for your enjoyment.”
