Extension Usage Instructions
Easily view tweets featuring the URL of your active Chrome tab.
I built this because I needed it. I often found myself constantly copying URLs (of blog posts, articles, etc) and pasting them into Twitter's search to see kind of conversations were happening around them.
Old way to view tweets featuring a URL = 5 steps
1. Copy URL from nav bar
2. New Tab
3. Navigate to Twitter
4. Paste into Search
5. Click enter
New way using ViewTweets = 1 step
1. Click ViewTweets Chrome extension icon on toolbar or type 'Command + K' (Mac)
Pretty cool, right?
