Announcing TwitBin - Twitter for firefox

We’d like to take a moment to announce TwitBin, our newest product we’ve been developing for the last few weeks. TwitBin is an extension for firefox that allows you to follow your friend and public tweets in Firefox’s sidebar. Almost anything you can do on twitter itself, you can now do from your sidebar (messaging wise, though not some things like adding friends).

As part of this application, we’ve introduced a new ad format for it as well. The new ads, 180×44px alpha transparent PNGs, are going to be sold in a hybrid cost per time and cost per impression. You will only pay for the minutes your ads are viewed. There will be more on this soon. If you’re interested in advertising with us, and trialing the new format, please contact us.

  2. Steve Says:

    Really love the plugin, the feature that I’d love to see is support for the @ syntax, and that links are added to take you to the twitter users homepage thats @’d.

    Apart from that… Super cool!!

  3. Brian Says:

    Thanks steve. from what i understand @whomever is just used for search purposes in twitter, to find messages aimed solely at you.

  4. Luciano Says:

    Very useful and nice plugin, bravi. :-) Wish Improvements: The @, it’s not supported as i see, doesn’t appear neither take back to the permalink
    Wish bugfix (?): clicking on the author’s link, open a new window - even if in firefox generally the settings are to open a new tab.

  5. xopher Says:

    Great app, and i think it would be safe for you guys to remove the question mark from linux, I’ve tested it on debian and fedora and both work flawlessly.

    It needs the phone/IM toggle button… I’d like to switch between phone and IM on the fly. Otherwise, great job!

  8. Zapper Says:

    I like it..
    I would really like the option to have it “dock” on the right side though. I have a widescreen monitor, and thus have room to have a full webpage along wtih twitbin. I would like it on the other side, so webbrowsing..my main use of firefox was not changed at all, rather I would just have twitbin in unused space.

  9. Chris Hubbs Says:

    Is this the right place to list wishes? It looks beautiful, the only thing lacking is a relative timestamp to let you know when that tweet was posted - otherwise, how do I know whether the tweet I’m looking at is one minute old or one day old?

  10. SolidSilver Says:

    Nice extension, but it seems to have issues with proxies. I use FoxyProxy, and unless I’ve set it to use ‘Default’ for all connections, TwitBin is unable to load the timeline or log me in. Has anyone else noticed this?

  11. Ron Says:

    Twitbin not showing updates when friends display option chosen, they are there when viewing public though

  12. Naomi Says:

    Periodically, the display switches to the public timeline and
    and won’t let me change my preferences; what’s happening?

  13. xavier Says:

    Naomi,
    Lately Twitter’s API has been acting up a bit. What happens here is that Twitter’s API goes down at times, and when it resets, so do the logins. We don’t save any user information for security reasons, so when they reset their side, the users of twitbin have to login again. This is why at times you will see the public time line, and you have to login again and select “Friends”.
    We know that Twitter has been doing some modifications these past few weeks, and hopefully you will see less of this situation.
    Feel free to conact me directly if you have any further questions.

    won’t occur as often.

  14. Guy Kawasaki Says:

    Love Twitbin. Can you display the number of followers somewhere? Then I’d hardly ever need to go to my home page.

    Thanks,

    Guy Kawasaki

  15. turnipHed Says:

    For the past 3 days I am only able to post TWEETS but not see my feed - :-( boo hooo

  16. gorgeoux Says:

    I frequently see only the public timeline and not the one of people I follow. The message ‘Twitter server are not responding right now’ is either incomplete or incorrect (beyond grammar), as long as Twitter works on various channels outside Twitbin.
