If you’re a tweeting twitterer that can’t stop from twitterizing your latest twitterification, check out Silver Bird, a Twitter Chrome Extension that allows you to access your latest twitter streams directly from your browser bar without all the “noise”. It also shows notifications of new incoming tweets with a handy little number ticker that updates in real-time.
See that bird with the red number on it? Yup, that’s how many actions or events have happened since you last looked at your twitter. Pretty neat feature that also prevents you from constantly revisiting the twitter website to see if anything interesting has happened. Obsessive but a time waster!
The list of features on Silver Bird is extensive and you can see frmo the screenshot how pretty much everything desired can be accessed right from the browser bar. Why don’t we share the list of current features at the time of publishing this article:
