I contributed some code to an open source project called choqoK a couple of weeks ago in order to allow it to search both Twitter and Laconi.ca sites for statuses matching certain criteria. Yesterday during the shuttle launch I wanted to see how up to date the tweets were compared to the actual event. It was surprisingly current. I think this feature will make a nice addition to version 0.5.
I seem to like this project because before I used it there wasn't really a Twitter client for GNU/Linux that I liked. This was the first one I found that I felt actually made micro-blogging more convenient than just going to the websites. If you get a chance I recommend giving it a try.
