remember the little bookmarklet I did to easy your tweeting experience? no? check it out then.

I’ve added a little new feature to it, youtube URL shortening. for example if you are watching this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Esdl_3kKSBk and wanted to share with your followers, you click on tweet! bookmarklet and the link shared on twitter would look like this http://youtu.be/Esdl_3kKSBk which gives you more space to talk (15 more chars to be accurate). pretty awesome right?

the whole point of this bookmarklet is that sometimes all what you want to say about the link is in the title and you don’t want to shorten the URL because the tweet and the URL together are less than 140 and the URL gives the users an idea about what is this link (for example if someone can’t access youtube for some reason)

anyway, hope you like it, enjoy your tweeting and give me any feedback you have

Twitter added support for the “retweet”, but most users did not like the new feature, they felt it is confusing and annoying, now the biggest problem rises in “twitter clients” some of them support and some don’t, anyway this is not what i want to talk about, what i want to talk about here is: how to get all the retweets – the old ones and new ones – in one place
well thats an easy task, just search for you username and save that search, example: i have a saved search for @w43L

If you use twitter in Syria you may have noticed that the “integrated search” (you know the one on the sidebar under the retweets word) does not work, it does not give you an error, just a dull response, nothing happens …
well here is how to enable it:

-what you are going to need is:

1. firefox

2. foxy proxy addon

3. an IP & port of a proxy server (which definitely you have )

-here is what you have to do:

1. install foxy proxy firefox extension (if not already installed)

2. press ctrl+f2 which will bring foxyproxy options dialog

3. click the add new proxy button and enter the proxy ip and port

4. there is a tab called URL patterns , click on it and click on add new pattern

5. add a new pattern with the name you like and his URL pattern *integratedsearch.twitter.com/*

6. save everything and try to search on the twitter page

for any problems contact me @w43L, salam
