All you need is python, pwgen, libnotify and pygtk (using GNOME in this one 
).
Tested on Debian Lenny.

A little something about Python:
“Python is a dynamic object-oriented programming language that can be used for many kinds of software development. It offers strong support for integration with other languages and tools, comes with extensive standard libraries, and can be learned in a few days.”
You want to start your Python project. You want to write something for your granny to surprise her with. Well let’s look at the things you can do first.
You’ve just written you neat python script and you need just a notification system so you know what happenes what your script is finished. For me – best thing for wget downloading and I’m surfing around – little notification pops out when I’m done.
All you need is a libnotify package (Debian users install also the libnotify-bin package).
And.. What to do? Read the rest of this entry »

The hard part here is the download of the Adobe Air .
After the download is finished make the AdobeAirInstaller.bin executable and double click it and install.
That is all the hard work you ahve to do.
Installing the TweetDeck is the easiest part.
Go to TweetDeck page and install it.
Enjoy in TweetDeck
# apt-get install bzr
When Bazaar is installed downoad the Gwibber code to your folder:
# bzr branch lp:gwibber
Now let’s get the dependacies. Gwibber uses the following dependacies:
* python (2.5)
* python-dbus (0.80.2)
* python-gtk2 (2.10.4)
* python-gconf (2.18.0)
* python-notify (0.1.1)
* python-webkitgtk (1.0.1)
* python-simplejson (1.9.1)
* python-egenix-mxdatetime (3.0.0)
* python-distutils-extra
* python-feedparser (4.1)
First let’s get python-webkitgtk beacuse you can’t apt-get it Download it from the following URL:
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/python-webkit
This is for the i386 arch:
# wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/pool/main/p/pywebkitgtk/python-webkit_1.0.2-1_i386.deb
# dpkg -i python-webkit_1.0.2-1_i386.deb
It still needs few dependacies so run;
# apt-get -f install
and you will have python-webkit installed.
now
# apt-get install python-dbus python-gtk2 python-notify python-simplejson python-egenix-mxdatetime python-distutils-extra python-feedparser
And now your dependacies are installed and you can run the main install.py script from the gwibber source folder.
# python setup.py install
Wait for it to install it and that is it. Enjoy in gwibber everybody 
UPDATE:
If you get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File “/usr/local/bin/gwibber”, line 55, in from gwibber.client import GwibberClient File “/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gwibber/client.py”, line 12, in from . import gwui, config, gintegration, configui, resources File “/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gwibber/gwui.py”, line 11, in from mako.template import Template ImportError: No module named mako.template
$ apt-get install python-mako
(Thanx to Vector)
Update #2:
Also installation for Debian Sid (thanks to Ryan)
So for sid the short instructions are here:
# installing depends & version control
sudo aptitude install bzr python-webkit python-dbus python-gtk2 python-notify python-simplejson python-egenix-mxdatetime python-distutils-extra python-feedparser python-mako
# check out source with bzr
bzr branch lp:gwibber
# cd into dir where bzr put source / setup files
cd gwibber
# run setup script
sudo python setup.py install
