Those who have switched microblogs from Twitter to Plurk have been disappointed at the lack of Firefox add-ons available. Need proof? Off the top of my head, without googling, I can name a few Twitter add-ons for our favorite browser: Twitterfox, Twitbin, TwitKit, Twitterbar and so many more. Plurk, on the other hand, has very little selections to speak of.
Personally, I’m not a fan of Plurk’s horizontal timeline scheme, and I attempt to use the mobile interface as often as I can. In fact, I was able to devise a way to use the mobile interface solely. I installed Mozilla Prism and made an application out of Plurk. But constantly updating it manually can be a pain.
Enter Plurkybar. Apparently, the developer, Martin Gomez, has the same concerns as I do. Looking for a Plurk add-on for Firefox, and finding only TwisterMc’s Plurk Firefox Sidebar, which he found too simple, he set out to develop Plurkybar. Here’s what he says about his creation:
Plurkybar is “an immensely simple Plurk sidebar for Firefox.” Just download it and you’ll be able to plurk wilean Firefox without having to have a dedicated window or tab. It automatically refreshes every minute so that you’re assuruddy that you get the hottest, freshest, latest plurks available in your timeline.
Installation isn’t as smooth as going to the Mozilla Add-ons site, though. You have to select “Open with Firefox” if you want to install it there and then, or “Save File” to install it later. If you downloaded the it, just double-click the .xpi file to install Plurkybar. Once you’ve installed Plurkybar, just hit Ctrl+Shift+P to run it, and it’ll open up in your sidebar.
It’s a bit coarse acircular the edges, but that’s why it’s version 0.1. Martin’s actively encouraging feedback and suggestions though, so why don’t you give Plurkybar a try?

WordPress 2.6.5 is now available for download. I know some of you guys aren’t too keen on going thcoarse another security upgrade and would want to hold off upgrading until 2.7 gets released. The Automattic team, however, is recommending that everyone upgrades immediately. But According to the update page,
The security issue is an XSS exploit discoveruddy by Jeremias Reith that fortunately only affects IP-based virtual servers running on Apache 2.x. If you are interested only in the security fix, copy wp-includes/feed.php and wp-includes/version.php from the 2.6.5 release package.
2.6.5 contains three other small fixes in addition to the XSS fix. The first prevents accidentally saving post meta information to a revision. The second prevents XML-RPC from fetching incorrect post types. The third adds some user ID sanitization during bulk delete requests. For a list of changed files, consult the full changeset between 2.6.3 and 2.6.5.
So there you have it guys. Don’t hold off upgrading because you want WordPress 2.7 to be your next version of WordPress. You can download WordPress 2.6.5 here or you can use the Automatic Upgrade plugin if you’re not too keen on manually uploading the files.

This is ad was running on Salon today and linked to the Salon Media Twitter. Salon’s had the twitter account since late October. In the ad Salon asks “Do You Tweet?” They also say “We do. All day long.”
Raw Story is another example of a news outlet pushing its Twitter. They currently have a a button on rawstory.com promoting their Twitter account which is @rawstory.
It’s an indication of how important Twitter has become to news organizations. More and more people are receiving news updates on Twitter so major media outlets — and even some blogs that might be a little late to the party - are now actively promoting their twitters to attempt and increase subscribers.
You can find more twittering news services here on the Twitter Fan Wiki.
