Update Twitter from any browser with a bookmarklet
Your favorite desktop browser probably already has loads of addons that can update Twitter, but if you're using Google Chrome or browsing on your iPhone or iPod Touch, then what?
Add Twitlet bookmarklet, and you've got a handy way to send updates from anywhere. To get started, head over to the Twitlet site and click the create button - you'll then be asked to provide your Twitter credentials. Drag the generated link to your bookmarks toolbar, and you're finished.
Just click the button (or the link in your iPod/iPhone favorites menu) and a pop-up window appears with single blank for your status update. If you want to include the URL you're currently viewing, just add #this or #link to your update, and Twitlet automatically generates a truncated URL via is.gd.
It's a nice option for users that either don't want to use a full-blown addon or can't because of their browser.

Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
