Yoono What? This is Brilliant

by

Quite by accident I discovered a cracking Twitter desktop application yesterday. But you can only use this if you’re on FireFox, because it’s a FireFox Addon.

I’ve been a Twitter user for a while now, but I’d always been conscious that I wasn’t getting as much out of it as I should have been. There was simply too much information to manage.
