TweetDeck I really enjoyed until I installed Ubuntu, as Adobe doesn't have a 64-bit version of Adobe AIR (which is necessary to run TweetDeck) so I can't use it anymore. Are there any alternatives that support Facebook?

Note - there is a similar question - but this has been reopened to be specific to facebook support:

What microblogging clients are available?

  • Have you tried Adobe's method for installing Air on 64, it just uses the 32 bit .bins. Thats how I got destroy Twitter working. I think this is how: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/521/cpsid_52132.html – NRoach44 Jun 07 '11 at 16:36
  • I have actually. Unfortunately, TweakDeck doesn't work 100% with this hacked version of AIR. – Alan Jun 11 '11 at 04:47

If you do not mind running in a browser then Tweetdeck, Hootsuite and Seesmic all run on Chrome(ium) and the last two on Firefox. Personally I run Tweetdeck under Chrome and running these services in a browser is probably the best way forward. Adobe have stopped development of Air for linux, so do not expect much new software in Ubuntu using it.

  • Hi. I actually tried using that exact method a few weeks ago. Sadly, TweetDeck was extremely buggy when using the 64-bit version of Adobe AIR. – Alan Jul 23 '11 at 18:12

I would recommend trying ouy Digsby, as soon as a Linux version will be released (later this year, they say). You may signup to be announced when it's available at http://www.digsby.com/signup/maclinux/?os=linux .

    Digsby is comming for mac and linux for about 2 years! Quote from [here](http://forum.digsby.com/viewtopic.php?id=7214): LOL don't hold your breath. Not like it's hard to convert the source code over to Linux and compile it on Linux but I've been waiting for a **good 2 years** now probably and still no word. I've given up on Digsby... Use Konversation or Pidgin for Linux. – kv1dr May 28 '11 at 12:08

  • I looked, but couldn't find any information on whether or not Hotot supports Facebook, do you know? – Alan May 28 '11 at 20:28

    Hotot does not support Facebook AFAICT. – andrewsomething May 28 '11 at 23:53

    -1 Because Hotot does not support Facebook, and it [never will](http://code.google.com/p/hotot/issues/detail?id=168&can=1&q=facebook&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Reporter%20Milestone%20Owner%20Summary). – jrg Jun 03 '11 at 19:38
  • When answering questions, try to be relevant to the question (and any important details). – RolandiXor Jul 04 '11 at 13:34
  • @jrg [Never will?](http://code.google.com/p/hotot/issues/detail?id=168&can=1&q=facebook&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Reporter%20Milestone%20Owner%20Summary) "We don't have plans to support Facebook **at this time**... Anyway, **patches are welcomed**." – Eliah Kagan Aug 14 '12 at 20:52
  • @EliahKagan more accurately, it won't unless people submit patches. You and I both know how likely that is. – jrg Aug 14 '12 at 20:54
