I just wanted to let everyone who is using my Twitter Toolbar, and there are a whole bunch more than last time I updated, that their is a new update. You can now download Twitter Toolbar version 1.09, my latest version.

Latest Updates:

• Made it so that updates longer than 140 characters transfer you and the update to Twitters main update box for easy editing
• Added Link to Direct Messages
• Added Link to Follow Me!
• Fixed a conflicting access key

Current Issues and Things I Want

Version 1.09 isn’t really the version I wanted to release, but I have been using it for a while myself, and simply put, it’s better than version 1.08. It’s mainly because every time I tweeted before, I always wondered if my tweet was too long. If it’s too long now, it will take you to Twitter’s page with your update in the update box, so it is easy to edit. I also made a few minor changes, and added a couple of menu items.

The next version I plan on releasing will be a much larger improvement. Many of you are begging for more dynamic content. The toolbar needs to read what is going on in your world, and become much more than a fancy submit button. I want it to show number of new replies, messages, and I would really love a scrolling text of live updates. All are possible, but building Firefox add-ons is not my specialty, so please give me time.

Please let me know if you having in problems or have a suggestion!
