Twitter Extender is a versatile google chrome extension that adds extra features to your twitter page. Some of these features remind you of old style twitter interface and are very useful. It even covers some of the features available on Hovercards, that were recently introduced by twitter for web.
Additional features have been listed below:
- RT: Adds old style RT before the tweet you want to Retweet.
- Reply to All: Reply to all users contained(Usernames) in the single tweet, with a click of the mouse.
- DM: Direct Message to your followers by clicking DM link under their tweet.
- Switch: Usable to enhance reading of tweets in Arabic language, shifts tweet direction from left-right.
- Url Shortening: In-built url shortening service usign bit.ly.
- PrevTweet: Load of previous replies for conversations.
- Highlighted Mentions: To make it easy for you to notice the replies.
The screenshot will explain the above features in a better way:
The above features can come very handy for those users who are still sticking to twitter from web. The extension is expected to grow in features by the addition of:
- Tweet translation
- Short link expansion
- Image upload and,
- Customization of provided features, as targeted by its developer.
All the above features, when summed up, almost form a complete twitter client in itself. And, with the availability of these features in an extension for web browsing on twitter, that does not consume high amount of memory, like the twitter clients, will be a life saver for twitter users and well as web version of twitter.
Currently, 60% of my tweets are from web, and this extension has been very useful and productive for me, since last month when it appeared on chrome extensions page. I rate this extention 2.5/5 with its existing features and the rating will go up as soon as i realize the importance of its newly added/upcoming features.
