Useful Features From Power Twitter

I just installed Power Twitter by Narendra Rocherolle and Nick Wilder and find it very useful.

Power Twitter (PT) is the add-on feature for Firefox and available for Safari too.

PT adds features to the Twitter Web interface and here are some of them:-

1. Easy photo posting. With PT, you can share your photo easily and view photo without clicking on the link. You can choose from the setting either to use yfrog, TwitPic, TweetPhoto or Twigoo.

2. Easy to share and view video with Power Twitter. Just post your video and you can view the video from the same page.

3. With Twitter,you don’t know where the short links from before clicking on it. With PT,you can see the expanded URLs showing you where the links might take you.

4. Mouse over to an avatar and you can see the recent updates from that person.

5. Easily shorten the URLs and many more.

Have you tried Tweets60? Tweets60 is a free twitter client for Series 60 devices (3rd and 5th editions). With all the basic features of this application, you can post your Twitter updates directly from your phone.

Tweets60 is easy to install and provides all the basic functions of Twitter. For example, reply, follow, unfollow, retweet and direct message.

The con of Tweets60 is without the search function. However, it is enough for me with all the basic functions whilst on the move.

Twitter Power

Twitter provides an easy way and fast way to communicate.

The other day, I was unable to access my site. In order to find out whether this is due to web hosting problem and whether others with the same web host had the same problem, I tried to search it by using Twitter.

Twitter search is just amazing. From the search result, I noticed that others had sent out tweets and unable to access their sites too.

Immediately I sent out a tweet to the web hosting support team and received fast and friendly respond. I must admit that I am happy with the service provided by the support team.
Here are the tweets I have exchanged with Midphase :-

Shorten The URLs

justbloglah — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 15:14:11 +0000

Adding a link or long URL when using Twitter will be annoying as Twitter only allow you to post your update up to 140 characters.

If you are a TweetDeck user, you will notice that a number of URL shortening services can be selected from the drop down list through the Settings panel. Simply add the original URL to the “Shorten URL” box and click on “Shorten URL” button. The new generated URL will be inserted to the Tweet box. Cool?

Here are some of the simple URL shortening services which reduce the length of the original URL.

TinyURL.com

Example of the long URL shortened by using bit.ly:-

Original URL http://www.justbloglah.com/twitter-badges-and-twitter-buttons-for-your-blog/

After http://bit.ly/1upNmR

With these services, you can reduce the length of URL tremendously.
