Thank you for the kind words and the comment. When starting to write this extension I headed over to the Twitter API (http://apiwiki.twitter.com/) and saw the PHP possibilities. From there it alomst developed it self ;) Anyway, I'll do a rewrite of the extension later today (GTM+1) and I'll try to remove the server-layer and make a new UI as you suggested. Best Regards Thomas Hey Aaron.

Nice start. Can you explain why you need to have the server part? I expected that you'd be able to POST directly from the extension to Twitter's API, using XHR. What doesn't work with this? Also, I have an idea for the UI. What if you made it start out small (just the twitter icon) and then on mouseover or click, it animates larger so you can enter the status. Hey, just ran across this.
