Chrome, Google’s web browser, has a cool feature in it which allows you to add custom search engines. For example, you can create them for Google, Yahoo, your own blog or whatever.

But they are pretty generic in nature. This means you can quite easily add some extra cool features to Chrome without very much effort at all.

Here, I make a couple of cool Twitter extensions, that allow you to construct a tweet and find a user quickly.

Yesterday afternoon while I was sitting at home, I realised I hadn’t yet gotten around to trying out the extensions feature that has been recently released in the beta branch of Google Chrome.

Note: in order to enable extensions, you need to be on the dev branch, which you can install from here. If you’re on a Mac/Linux, you probably already have the dev branch, but you will have to enable the extensions pages with instructions here.
