Power Twitter For Firefox: Inline Media, Integrated Search And A Lot More

Source: TechCrunch

Jan 03, 2009

Summary

Power Twitter, an add-on for Firefox created by Narendra Rocherolle at 83 Degrees, was just released. If you use Twitter and were excited about services like Tweetree, this is something you’ll want to add immediately.

Power Twitter moves Twitter Search, inconveniently located on a different subdomain, right into the Twitter site itself. You can also just search a single user’s updates from that user’s Twitter page.

YouTube, Flickr, and TwitPic links are also added in-line to Twitter messages so you don’t have to click off site to see them. This is something competitor Friendfeed does and is an often-requested feature.

One last feature I like, you can mouse over a user icon and see the last few Twitter messages they’ve written. This helps to put current messages into context to understand the conversation.

@drikkes @jrblaze I'm not a fan of browser side-bars. Anyone try this one?

@jasongoldberg no sidebars here. This Firefox Extension works like a greasemonkey script adding inline content instead of having to click through links. @Drikkes I did try it and it does work well. One thing that happened to me was some of the photos posted were cut off a little on the right side. Power to the people.

I've tested it. The search within the site is a big plus, but I def don't like the mouseover effect, as I dislike the snapshots on wordpress blogs.
The problem @Jrblaze reported with the cut off photos I can confirm.

I'm still more comfortable with http://brightkite.com.
