PowerTwitter is a Firefox Add-on that provides you with some much needed features within your Twitter account. It allows you to search Twitter right from your homepage, view media in-line, and expands links within Tweets so you know what you’re clicking on. I’ve been using PowerTwitter for a few months now (previously reviewed here), and so far I’ve been relatively happy with the feature list. Last night I noticed that there was an updated version that had been released and after I installed it, I realized that even more features had been added. Unfortunately, what I didn’t find was any sort of help or detailed list from PowerTwitter explaining just what I was looking at. They do have a Get Satisfaction page where users can post questions and report any problems they might be having, but there is no real documentation of how to effectively use PowerTwitter.
Some of the notable new features are:
- Saved recent searches
- Post photos right from your Twitter account
- One-click ReTweet
- Shrink URLs quickly from your account
- PowerTwitter settings so you can choose what features of PowerTwitter you want to use
