Bug Description

Binary package hint: kdeplasma-addons

Laconica (http://laconi.ca/) is a Free Software alternative to Twitter. Among other features, it supports the Twitter API exactly.

Since many Free Software supporters use Laconica, it would be good to include support for it in this plasmoid. Since the only difference between a Laconica instance like identi.ca or army.twit.tv and Twitter's API is the URL, it really shouldn't be in a separate package.

Note that Gnome's deskbar and Gnome Do already support Laconica in their Twitter updaters.

By the way, I'm the creator of and main developer for Laconica.

It's a shame that it couldn't be done in time for KDE 4.2, but perhaps we could backport the feature. The changes themselves don't look too invasive/large.
