Getting Started
1st download and install TwitKit+ in your Firefox.
Now you have three ways that you can access TwitKit+ after installing the extension. The first is by adding the “Toolbar Button” to your browser’s UI.
The second way is through the “View” menu.
And the third way is via “Tool” Menu.
Using TwitKit+
When you open TwitKit+ for the first time you will see Twitter’s “Public Tweet Stream”. To get started login into your account.
Note: If you do not care for the “brown theme” you can select a different one in “Preferences”.
Here is a closer look at the top area and the commands available. Notice the “Blue arrow symbol” in the upper left corner…very useful if you want to separate TwitKit+ from your main browser window for a bit.
- Secure Mode, Undock, Preferences, Login/Logout
- Google Search, Twitter Search, Copy Selection To Status Box, Shorten Selected URL
- Public, User, Friends, Followers, @ Messages, Direct Messages, Profile
Note: To use Google or Twitter search enter your term in the “Status Area” and click on the appropriate service icon.
Here is the regular timeline for our account…the “clickable tab buttons” make everything easy to view and work with. You can perform actions such as replying, retweeting, marking as a favorite, etc. using the set of “management buttons” at the bottom of each tweet.
To add a new tweet to your timeline enter your text and press “Ctrl+Enter”.
A look at the “Following List” for our account. Having a more defined and separate “view categories” set makes this better than directly accessing the Twitter website.
Setting Up
The preferences can be quickly sorted out…choose how often the timeline is updated, name display, favorite URL shortening service, theme, and font size. Access to preference from “Tool > TwitKit > TwitKit Preference.
Note: The default connection setting is for “Secure Access”.
