As stated previously, I am new to Twitter and I am enjoying finding third party applications or add-ins that enhance the Twitter experience.
My default browser is Firefox, so I was pleased to find an extension for FireFox that checks my Twitter account and provides me with updates to my Twitter status.
Twitterfox is a free add-in (donations accepted) that places a small Twitter icon in the lower right portion of your FireFox status bar. Once you provide the preferences dialog with your Twitter account and password, the system will periodically check your status and give you access to your tweets. TwitterFox will monitor multiple Twitter accounts.
I note that if you are displaying the TwitterFox window with your latestest tweets, if you mouseover a tinyurl address in a tweet, it will translate the tinyurl and give you the actual address before you follow the link. I like to have the opportunity to decide if I know the URL address before I click. Good job! TwitterFox.
My initial reaction is favorable. If you use FIreFox, you can obtain the TwitterFox add-in < here >
