Twitbin upgrades coming
So folks, we’ve sifted through the torrent of feedback and we want to thank you for it. We’re already hard at work on the next iteration. Things we’re planning for the near future:
- tool tips for the icons
- character count in the status area
- favorite/star function soon
Other tweak we are making: open links in a new tab, this will require a bit more work, but we’re planning this for the end of the week.
If you’ve got some other super awesome ideas, please post them here so everyone can comment.

Links..new tab. Good. I also wouldn’t mind seeing a button on the tool bar to switch between public and personal views.
Good stuff though.

I use Firefox v2.0.0.3 on Windows XP.
When I click “link >>”, TwitBin opens the linked page in the active tab of my current browser window.
But when I click on the name of any Twitter user id, TwitBin opens the person’s Twitter page in a new browser window (not a tab).
Is this by design? If not, would it be possible to make ALL links (whether a Tweet or a Twitter user id) open in a new tab in the current browser window?
Thanks again for this FF extension!
P.S. Xavier, thanks for leaving a comment on my blog. I appreciate the extra effort.

Wow, that was a quick reply! Thanks, Brian.
And yes, I’m already following you, Xavier, and TwitBin on Twitter.
Looking forward to the enhancements! And congratulations on getting over 2250 TwitBin users in just a matter of days!

I’d love to run twitbin as a Google Desktop widget
