Once upon a time there was a tiny Twiter tool called, TinyTweet.
This littlest add-on of them all spread joy a harmony throughout the Internets by allowing all those in Twitter land to send tweets to their friend, families and that guy who keeps spamming affiliate deals. It didn’t do this by any normal means. Oh no. It did it’s work by simply highlighting text on any page.
Do you remember Jetpack?
It is the Mozilla Labs project that makes the add-on building process easier, mixing elements of HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Mozilla has released an awesome Jetpack Gallery, which serves as a community for Jetpack developers and add-on users.
Facebook seems to quickly be outgrowing the other social networks by leaps and bounds. It is hard to find a friend that hasn’t switched over to it from the other social networks like MySpace and the like. So with that said, why not grab a toolbar that will help you get a little more out of your Facebook usage and help you stay connected with your friends even better?
