Okay, I’ve got to admit, I do have a Twitter but I seldom find time to post stuff since I always seem to forget to have it open. Yes, that means dedicating a tab for that. And I’ve got just too many tabs open. And since I don’t like my mobile phone buzzing me with an SMS every time a Twitter-fiend friend posts an update. So why not have it as an accessible add-on in Firefox, in the sidebar, perhaps.

So here are two add-ons just for that purpose.

TwitBin

Here’s TwitBin, a Firefox extension that places Twitter in your Firefox sidebar. It features a pretty interface that lets you send and receive messages from your Twitter account. One thing I don’t like though is that it places an “ad” at the bottom. Not actually distracting but it does make TwitBin look like adware.

Tweetbar

There’s also tweetbar, a similar application that also places Twitter in your sidebar. Over the two, this one’s a more straightforward approach to Twitter as it features the familiar Twitter interface only it fits your sidebar.
