I used these notes and I have a small correction.
The gwibber directory didn't exist, it was in 'main/gwibber'

Also you can 'sudo apt-get install bzr python-simplejson' to install what you need. I wrote some simple notes more for me then anyone else based on your notes here.

Thanks for the help though :)

According to the launchpad site, the recommended checkout command to get the code should be: bzr branch lp:gwibber
