Firefox Twitterbar extension hack (Update)
Mon, 01/19/2009 - 16:54 — roger
With the new version of the Twitterbar extension the author has implemented OAuth functionality. I do not recommend using my custom version anymore. Unfortunately he has not implemented my changes for using the title with the twitter post. See his release post here http://www.chrisfinke.com/2009/03/23/twitterbar-updated-with-oauth-shorter-urls/
I needed a simple way to get some news on the twitter feed of my company and found the twitterbar extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/4664). It is quite comfortable with typing and pushing the button. Or just push a button and get the url posted or just append "--post" to the location bar. What i was missing was the title in the tweet and so I hacked the extension to transmit the title too when you press the small twitter button in location bar.
As this is not official I attach the xpi file here and if someone likes it he can download and use it. Hope the counters work well.
I'm contacting the maintainer if he wants to release the changes I made.
Have fun
Be aware: The changes will add the document title to the tweet BUT it will also append the browser name to it. If anybody knows how to avoid that... I'm open for suggestions. ;)
