Twittering Flock

Apr 10

Okay, I have to admit I was doing my damndest best not to get sucked into Twittering. Really I was. I failed when I saw this little kick-ass Flock/Firefox extenstion!

Introducing Twitterbar! Go here. Install the extenstion. Restart Flock. You are ready to Twit when you see this little icon in your address bar: (the little grey circle with the small white plus!)

When you hover over the little grey icon, it tells you how much characters you’ve got left.

So here is the low-down! Your browser’s address bar becomes your Twitter updater! Really, how much simpler can it get! What is really nifty is that when you are on a site and want to update twitter that you are checking out this site, you simply enter –post after the URL and it post it to twitter!

And here it is on twitter:

You can type your normal messages and do the same:

Getting and setting up the extension:

First, go and install the twitterbar extension. You can find it here:

After you have installed it you will need to restart Flock/Firefox. So do it!
Next you need to set up the extension to actually work! So you type in your address bar of your browser: –options
A Twitter Options Dialog will appear. Enter your settings there and hit OK.
You are now ready to Twit all you want!
