Twitter status update keyword shortcut for Firefox

Written January 13, 2007. Tagged Firefox.

I decided to try Twitter (me) as a kind of terse personal blog and a way of tracking what I've been doing when. I doubt I'll use it for very long, but while I am testing it, I want a Firefox keyword shortcut for posting.

I'd like to call it a bookmarklet, but it doesn't involve any Javascript, so I suppose it's more properly a Firefox quick search or keyword shortcut.

Anyway, just bookmark http://twitter.com/status/update?status=%s with some Firefox keyword such as "tw", to be able to post updates with "tw Posting an update."
