Cruz Browser Gets Twitter Integration

Cruz, the “social browser” developed by Todd Ditchendorf has been recently updated to version 0.3: the update added Snow Leopard compatibility and other bug fixes. See the complete changelog here.

Anyway, the developer sent a tweet this morning where he mentioned a Twitter plugin for Cruz, still in beta. After a quick test, I found it very interesting and useful.

See the screenshots after the jump.

The setup is easy: fill out your Twitter credentials in the app’s Preferences, choose the plugin position and you’re set. For instance, I prefer the sidebar.

Anyway, the plugin by now allows you to read your tweets (it has an auto-refresh time) and check your mentions.The interface is pretty similar to iPhone OS, thanks to UMEKit and open source framework written by Todd Ditchendorf.

The plugin is in its early beta stage but it’s very promising. Here’s the link to the download.
