Rettiwt V0.2: FireFox Extension for Twitter Web



I have noticed a lot of users use Twitter web when they are on their machines. It's better save much time and no need to download or install any application.

I thought I could inject few more features into this already available tool. Hence I created a FireFox extension.

Being new to FF extension development and a fan of rapid development, I added only few features (will add more later):

1. Classic Retweet with Editing (RT).

2. Automatically parse YouTube videos and embed them into the status itself.
So if one of your following post a link to a YouTube video, the extension automatically fetch that video and display the frame in the status itself. You don't have to do anything.

3. Add all your following into a listbox so you can easily select and reply to them.

4. #FollowFriday Button that appears only on fridays.

1. You should have FireFox installed.

2. Install the Extension, by clicking on the link above,

3. Close FireFox and open it again.

4. Visit Twitter.com and enjoy.
