To use these bookmarklets, you should right-click and add the bookmarks of the links below to your favorites.

If your browser has a 'favorite links' toolbar, place the bookmark there so that you can use it with a single click.

In some browsers, you may also be able to drag the link and drop it directly on the toolbar.

Once you have added these bookmarklets, you may click on them to activate them while viewing a twitter page (yours or anyone else). Users of older browsers will need to select them from their favorites menu instead.

If you've never used a bookmarklet before, here are some links that can help you learn about them.
