After trying several Twitter extensions for Firefox, one has risen to the top as my favorite – Echofon. Echofon is a standalone program for Macs and iPhones, but they’ve also graciously allowed users of other OS’s to get in on the fun. The Echofon extension is installed as a button in the lower right corner of the Firefox window and shows you a number of unread tweets. Once you click on the button, a window pops-up with a list of your follower’s twitter updates. you can reply, retweet, retweet with comment (my favorite), star a tweet, open links in the background, manual refresh, and more. There are a few themes to chose from including black, Mac, Windows XP and Windows Vista/7. There is even support for multiple twitter accounts.
For those needing a change of pace from their current Twitter client or the Twitter webpage, give Echofon a try. Let me know your favorite Twitter client in the comments!
