FireStatus - A Status Update Utility for Twitter, Facebook & FriendFeed



FireStatus is an experimental Firefox plugin that allows you to quickly send notes to: Twitter, Facebook and FriendFeed. It also displays updates from these services in notification popups. If you wish to share a certain URL, just stand on the desirable webpage, open FireStatus, add a short note, and fire your status away.

Overall this must be a useful plugin for people who use these services on a daily basis, and I have to admit that I love its location on the browser - bottom menu bar. However, if the guys from FireStatus reads this, please add the ability to close the popup notifications in one click (I still want to get updates, but I also want to control them if streaming gets too busy).

Yes, we are paying attention and thanks for the kind words!

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you actually need, though. Do you want to be able to "close the firehose" from, say a manu item, like "Clear pending notifications"? Or do you want to still be presented with each notification poup, but make clicking on it a way to dismiss it? In the latter case, you would no longer be able to click a notification to open the relevant URL (assuming you were aware of this functionality). Would you prefer that tradeoff?
