TwitBin is a wicked cool side bar for FireFox. This is an extremely cool Twitter tool if you ask me. I always have a FireFox window open.

Thanks again Nicki for a great tip!

Not a bad app. I’m hoping they develop it further! :)

I like several features, but have seen a few quirks (bugs or intentional?) that IMO the TwitBin dev crew needs to address:

1.) you can’t right-click in twitbin, so you can’t open profiles, links, etc. in new windows, new tabs, etc.
2.) I would prefer that the default ‘open’ action for clicking a link is something other than the active window, this was perhaps the biggest annoyance factor, IMO

(I had a couple more in mind but can’t think of them at this very moment, lol)

I’ve tried contacting them directly, but the contact form on their site does not work. :(

(Fired off an email to the address listed in hopes of a response but have not heard anything back yet.)

Woot! Update: Just got a response, YAY! This was very quick, so I’m guessing that my email a few weeks back must not have gone through. Now bombarding them with my suggestions/complaints, LOL. :D

Nicki,

I really like TwitBin as well. I appreciate you tipping me off to it! As a web developer / programmer I spend all day in FireFox, it’s literally always open. So this is probably the coolest Twitter app I’ve seen in a while. This way Twitter is always “on” for me ;)
