Embed a (very) basic Twitter client in Google Chrome with the ChromedBird extension

Sure, it's a pretty stripped-down Twitter experience, but it's still nice to have close at hand when browsing with Chrome.
ChromeBird is a little buggy, but it's a very early build. I'll turn a blind eye, since we only get extension support in somewhat buggy dev builds (click here to download) of Chrome (or Chromium) right now anyway.
You can find the ChromedBird .crx over at ChromeExtensions.
