Power Twitter: Twitter with Tools
There are multiple ways to use Twitter, and if you usually use the Firefox browser, Power Twitter is an add-on that adds some interesting features. Once installed, the Twitter home page will essentially load twice, adding a fraction of time but not prohibitive. Immediately, there are three buttons above the "What are you doing?" box - Post photo, Shorten link, and Today's question. The first two are really useful, allowing you to choose which photo site to utilize and giving you extra characters to tweet with. Today's Question is a silly option, but for those desperate for something to tweet, it can be used to answer.
One of the standout features of Power Twitter is that all the shortened links in your Twitter feed are expanded, allowing you to see exactly what they contain. It also adds a re-tweet (RT) tab to each tweet, which is currently missing from the normal Twitter page. However, these features come at a price, as an advertisement is added to the sidebar. While it's not too intrusive, it is noticeable and makes the minimal Twitter design a bit more cluttered. If you're not too bothered about that, Power Twitter can be a really useful tool to enhance your Twitter experience.
Power Twitter really does make the Twitter home page more useful!
