<title>Social networking from the desktop</title>
<p>
With Ubuntu you can post to your favorite social networking sites from your
desktop. Ubuntu uses the <app>Gwibber</app> application to allow you to
organize your social networking sites in one place, and to post updates
from the <gui>Me Menu</gui> without opening any website.
</p>
<p>
To set up your social networking accounts:
</p>
<steps>
<item><p>
Click the <link xref="unity-menubar-intro">Messaging menu</link> on the right hand side of the menu bar.
</p></item>
<item><p>
Choose <gui>Set Up Broadcast Account...</gui>
</p></item>
<item><p>
Choose the social networking site you want to set up and click <gui>Add</gui>
</p></item>
<item><p>
Click <gui>Authorize</gui> and insert your account settings for that site,
and follow the instructions
</p></item>
</steps>
<p>
You can now view your social networking messages from the <link xref="unity-menubar-intro">
Messaging menu</link>
on the right hand side of the menu bar, in the <gui>Broadcast</gui> section.
Click on any of the items in that section to open <gui>Gwibber</gui>
and to read or post messages to your social network.
</p>
<note><p>
You can download a PDF guide to using <app>Gwibber</app> <link href="
http://gwibber.com/docs/user-guide/current/master_social_networking_with_gwibber.pdf">
from the Gwibber website</link>.
