Bug Description

Binary package hint: gwibber

Since the release of Ubuntu 11.04, the lowest value in the "Minutes between refresh" option in Gwibber > Edit > Preferences > Options is 5 (minutes). I feel that this should be 1 minute, like we had in Ubuntu 10.10. I like getting tweets/updates in real-time (or close to), not a load of tweets every 5 minutes.

At least give us the option?

This is because twitter/facebook does not like to be called again and again. This low refresh interval is a load on twitter and facebook's traffic and at some point they block the respective software traffic. This quota is not user based its application based so I am marking this bug as wontfix.
