This is a screenshot of Twitter. No gimmicks, no PhotoShop.

I’ll show you a simple way to turn your experience on Twitter.com into one very similar to most Twitter web applications out there, such as Tweetdeck, Seesmic or Hootsuite.
Some may prefer this solution since you will have access to all of your Twitter data – your profile, your followers, your settings, your lists and searches – all in one place.
Firefox and Chrome users can turn the native Twitter website into a customizable Twitter web application that can do the following:
- Add list columns
- Add mentions column
- Collapse and expand number of columns with a single click
- Collapse right rail column
- Add search columns
- Share photos directly
- Shorten urls
- Save draft tweets to send later
- and much more…
There is only one requirement – you have to be using Firefox or Chrome. If you’re in one of those browsers, follow the following steps:
Firefox users:
1. Go to the add-on library and install monkeyfly.
2. Restart browser, go to Tools – Add-ons and enable monkeyfly if it’s not enabled already
3. Go to Twitter and use the plus sign to customize your page
or
4. Watch the 3 minute tutorial and then go to Twitter to customize your page
Chrome users:
1. Go to Google Chrome extensions and install monkeyfly
2. Go to Windows – Extensions and check that monkeyfly is enabled
3. Go to Twitter and use the plus sign to customize your page
or
4. Watch the 3 minute tutorial and then go to Twitter to customize your page
If you’re not using one of these browsers, give one a try so you can use monkeyfly.
Enjoy!

Thanks man!! That really worked!! My Twitter is so different now!
@vutbaynet
Really cool
@ygtozdmr
Cool! Looks really useful but I’m really happy with my Tweetie
Thanks
@astateofmind
Cool, but I’ll stick with TweetDeck
@Chaudalyn
I like this! I guess I have to go back to firefox for it though. I hate tweetdeck. It never loads on my computer
@chuckreynolds
Cool hack – but I’ll stick with Seesmic on my mac
@manamica
Thanks! I use this and hootsuite in parallel. It doesn’t fully replace an app but there are some right column features that I really like. I also like the faster refreshes.
@azamchips
Very nice. Thank you for sharing it. I love the right column features too but I’m going to stick with Hootsuite.
@nicchick
This is aMAZing. Actually makes twitter.com a useful website now.
@The_Apple_Geek
Very nice! Much better then the usual twitter layout
@bloggingbistro
Wow, that’s good to know. I use Firefox and will have to try it. Although I’m happy with HootSuite, who knows… I may like this option even better. Thanks for sharing the how tos.
@manamica
thanks! Well, this morning I couldn’t get to Hootsuite, so my customized twitter.com was a nice backup.
@ambercleveland
I really like it too. I think that I will alternate between customized twitter and tweetdeck. Thanks for sharing the info.
@webylife
Great Trick, I really liked it.
@ryanbiddulph
Very savvy Mana. I’m one of those guys who tweets the old fashioned way. No apps just RB’s fingers
When my digits have had enough I’ll give this a shot 
@drperdew
Awesome. Have never seen anyone else talk about being able to do this. Guess I’ll be “tweaking twitter” this weekend!
@kristinabconner
Using this work work. We changed from HootSuite to Bitly/SocialOomph and they aren’t as easy to view like HS, but have other features that help. This is great. Thanks
@loneplacebo
That is too cool. Thanks for the hit up.
@pixgreenday
I have to use twitter.com at work, and no client works on this box. I just installed this and am totally in love so far. ♥
