I have decided to try my hand at Firefox Add-ons. My first add-on allows the user to post the current article been rendered by Firefox directly to twitter to share with your followers. It can be downloaded here. The add-on does the following:

• Gets the URL from the browser/tab window
• Uses bit.ly to shorten the URL
• Opens up www.twitter.com in a new browser window and populates the twitter status box with the web pages title and shortned URL

More information about the add-on and posting to twitter can be found here.
