That runs 
 echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/gwibber-team/ubuntu hardy main"
as root and tries to write the output to
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/gwibber.list as the calling user.

Use
 sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/gwibber-team/ubuntu hardy main" >>/etc/apt/sources.list.d/gwibber.list'

or 

echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/gwibber-team/ubuntu hardy main"| sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gwibber.list'
