Silver Bird Plus (Twitter Client)

Silver Bird Plus is a lovely little Twitter client that allows you to follow your timelines and fully interact with your Twitter…
Silver Bird Plus is a fork of the original Silver Bird extension. 

It features conversation view and a better, eye pleasing UI. It's actively developed so be ready for even more awesomeness.

Silver Bird Plus is an awesome Twitter client for Google Chrome with lots of features. (previously known as Chromed Bird).

Some of the most important features are:
* [NEW] Conversation view
* [NEW] Beautiful UI
* [NEW] Smooth scrolling
* [NEW] Check trending topics right inside the extension;
* [NEW] Support for real time timeline updates;
* Upload images from inside the extension; (Chrome 8+ and not yet on OS X)
* Change extension's locale from inside the options page;
* Expand the original tweet replies are referring to;
* Follow / Unfollow users by using the inline user actions menu;
* Browse tweets from a specific user directly inside the extension;
* Add and remove timeline tabs "on the fly" using the new right-click context menu;
* Create custom search queries that will update automatically;
* Preview image links by hovering them (Thanks to Takuo Kitame);
* See all your tweets in an unified timeline;
* Follow your timelines (including @mentions, lists, DMs and favorites) and navigate through your tweets;
* Compose, reply, RT, share, favorite and delete tweets;
* Create short URLs within the extension;
* Preview shortened URLs before clicking them;
* Track read / unread tweets;
* Notify user whenever new tweets arrive;


**** Attention ****
Because of two features (Showing tweets on page when they arrive, and the ability to use a different URL to connect to Twitter's API) Google Chrome will warn you about the requested permissions for the extension.

There's nothing to worry about in this fact. Silver Bird Plus will never grab any personal information from you, it doesn't even have access to your Twitter's password. All permissions are only required because it's the only way to implement all these cool features like showing tweets when they arrive without having to click on the icon.

If you're still worried you're invited to review the source code yourself, and remember that lots of people may do the same. It's all open and available here: http://github.com/cezarsa/chromed_bird
Also remember that the set of permissions for Silver Bird Plus is the same as a bunch of other extensions (e.g. Google Translate, AdThwart, StumbleUpon, etc)
