Firestatus: Update Twitter, Facebook and Friendfeed right from Firefox

I am subscribed to a good number of social networking sites and sometimes I am scared of keeping track of them. Logging in manually to check stuff and reply and post new things can get really indulging and hence time consuming. This would mean that you end up not concentrating on your work. In the times of recessions, I am sure no one would want to give their employer a second thought about commitment to work :) .

So how do you over come this indulgence and still stay connected (indulged)? The answer is pretty simple actually. You have to use some software, application or utility which ensures that you can keep track of and also update your status for all the social network sites from one platform. Jeez! as if you already don’t know about some such utilities most of them being developed on Adobe Air.

Logging into adobe air application that keeps track of all the stuff is great but comes with the cost of load on system resources (Adobe AIR is too heavy). Also, there’s the pain of switching to this application, logging into it and monitoring it. For someone as lazy as me, it’s not a viable solution. Also, if I were to ask you what’s that one application on which you spend most of your time in a day! Eureka! the answer is browser (Firefox).

Now you know where I am going. Let me introduce you to a lovely Firefox extension called as FireStatus. This extension is a lovely extension to update your status on multiple services. As of now it supports, Twitter, FriendFeed and Facebook. It also simultaneously notifies you of all the updates made by your friends and contacts from the above three services.

Still in experimental phase, you’ll need a Mozilla account to start using this extension. I am pretty excited as I don’t have to switch to applications or sign into services to check and make updates.

I foresee more social networking sites getting support on this extension. One drawback as of now is that you cannot as of now reply to updates made by your friends.
