Power Twitter is a simple but highly recommended Firefox addon for twitter fans who want to view all the information right there without jumping tabs or windows.
The addon works a lot like the popular Greasemonkey scripts, changing twitter’s web interface in order to improve the user experience.
Features include:
- Search and recent searches
- Search scoped to a specific user
- Status history peeking on mouseover
- Facebook status updates
- Inline YouTube, Flickr, TwitPic, Google Maps, song.ly (and more)
- URL expansion
- URL translation to page titles
- Open web update (news feed) mapping
- Custom settings
- @mentions
- Photo uploading
- Link shrinking
- #hashtags
A Desktop Alternative…
For those out there who are not completely convinced by this approach, there’s always TweetDeck, a twitter client based on Adobe AIR that allows you to do just about everything on twitter right on your desktop, including (in the last version update) a preview tool for TwitPic!
Download TweetDeck here, for free.
