WebMarker

WebMarker is an Chrome extension to use TweetMarker with the twitter.com website.

TweetMarker is a service for syncing Twitter timelines over various clients. WebMarker is giving this support for the website, too.

It currently works with the main timeline and mentions. Lists and direct messages will be supported later.

When you open Twitter or refresh your open page you should see the app icon right in the omnibar. If it's colored, a click will scroll you down to the last marked tweet.

If it's gray it scrolls to bottom to let Twitter load more tweets until the marked tweet is found (for a maximum of 3 trys).

Current tweet reading position will be set if page is in idle, or tab is inactive, for at least 10 seconds.

If you have any questions or feature requests you can contact me via Twitter (@schoppi).

I'm providing this software for free. But if you like it, I would be happy if you shout a drink for me. However, don't forget to donate to Riverfold Software for their great, free service, too.

Thanks to @manton for the TweetMarker support, and @wdominik for the icon.
