gwibber not working

this extra info may help, I typed gwibber -d into a terminal and got this message, not that I understand it of course but lines like "secret service operation" are a bit worrying!

teacher@ubuntu:~$ gwibber -d

gnomekeyring.IOError
teacher@ubuntu:~$

please try to run gnome-keyring-daemon first and then start gwibber
in terminal type gnome-keyring-daemon and then try to start gwibber

Thanks for that, it worked beautifully.
