Bug Description

Binary package hint: indicator-me

This is with up-to-date lucid installed afresh from alpha 3.

The messaging menu contains the item "Microblogging" to launch gwibber, while indicator-me contains "Broadcast accounts..." to configure gwibber. This terminology is inconsistent. In contrast, "chat" is used in both places for instant messaging.

I'm not sure what the best term is, though. "Microblogging" is concise, while "broadcast" is a bit vague. But on the other hand I wonder to what extent Facebook (supported by gwibber) would be generally regarded as "microblogging"...
