How to Turn Twitter Into a Dashboard-Style Web App

This is a screenshot of Twitter. No gimmicks, no PhotoShop. (Click to enlarge.)

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!
