Accelerate your Twitter-life. Twitterfox!

As stated in the last post here, I don't like going back and forth to the Twitter page to make/receive my updates. So, I use Twitterfox!

Twitterfox adds a small icon to the bottom of your Firefox screen. It automatically receives updates every few minutes and displays new Tweets in an aesthetically pleasing bubble box (I just noticed that they're rectangles). Similarly, you can update your own status from this widget. All it takes is a double-click and some typing! Here's what it looks like:



...all that being said, I think it is a very useful application, and is a must for all Twitters.
