Hot on the heels of my roundup of
15+ great extensions for Google Chrome, I've already found some more that deserve to be mentioned. First on the list:
ChromedBird.
You probably guessed from the name, but yes, it's a minimal
Twitter client which you can access from Chrome's main toolbar. It hides inside a little birdie button until you want to check your stream or post an update.
ChromedBird displays the last 5 tweets in your stream and allows you to post updates - and that's it. Links you paste into your updates are automatically shortened using bit.ly. Sure, it's a pretty minimal Twitter experience, but it's still nice to have close at hand when browsing with Chrome.
ChromeBird is a little buggy, but it's a very early build. I'll turn a blind eye, since we only get extension support in somewhat buggy dev builds (
click here to download) of Chrome (or Chromium) right now anyway.
You can find
ChromedBird installer over at ChromeExtensions.
