Yes, I think the USB disk is unrelated to gwibber, and you have TWO bad disks. The log you posted though did not go back far enough to see the problem with gwibber. You might try reproducing the error then running dmesg immediately.
The smartctl output you posted does not include the self test log. Did you run the self test first with smartctl -t long? It will take a few hours to complete. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gwibber in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1027485 Title: gwibber-accounts crashed with OperationalError in Delete(): disk I/O error Status in “gwibber” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Deleting a twitter account under Edit>Accounts triggers this error.
