I never got around to trying Twitter. It sounded interesting, but I am pretty busy (thanks to all you awesome Flockstars) and I figured it was something to check out whenever I take a vacation.

Flockstar Tony Farndon dropped me a line yesterday regarding a Twitterbar extension he had created. I figured it was as good an excuse as any and hastily set up an account on Twitter. It's nothing much, but I have to admit I love the idea...I'm constantly changing my quote on Gmail Chat, blogging, and throwing little updates into my profiles on different sites. This is just another extension of my personality and train of thought.

What Tony's extension does is allow you to type your entry into the address bar in Flock. Move your cursor over the unobtrusive green icon to the right and you can see how many characters you have left.



Finish typing and click the same button to post. You're done.

Once again, nice work Tony. I'll be using this for quite a while.

You can see Tony Farndon's blog and extensions at spatialviews.com. His Twitterbar extension is at spatialviews.com/twitterbar. You can see my hastily designed Twitter account at twitter.com/evanhamilton.
