It might save me time, then again, it may not. Currently, my biggest problem with Skeet is that it disappears as soon as you click away from it. This can be maddening if you are in the middle of tweeting or replying, because your unfinished message also disappears. If you are already using another Twitter client, you might be wasting your time trying this one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Techie Buzz Rating: 2.5\/5 (Average)<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"font-size:12px\">\n<strong>Share:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/twitter\/skeet-a-new-twitter-client-for-chrome.html#commentrespond\" rel=\"bookmark\" >Comment on This Post<\/a> |<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/home?source=techiebuzz&#038;status=Skeet%20%20A%20New%20Twitter%20Client%20for%20Google%20Chrome%20http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2Fdeg8W8%20via%20@techiebuzzer\" rel=\"bookmark\" >Tweet This<\/a> |<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/twitter\/skeet-a-new-twitter-client-for-chrome.html\" rel=\"bookmark\" >Share on Facebook<\/a> |<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/post?url=http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/twitter\/skeet-a-new-twitter-client-for-chrome.html&#038;title=Skeet%20%20A%20New%20Twitter%20Client%20for%20Google%20Chrome\" rel=\"bookmark\" >Save to Delicious<\/a> |<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.stumbleupon.com\/submit?url=http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/twitter\/skeet-a-new-twitter-client-for-chrome.html\" rel=\"bookmark\" >Stumble This<\/a> |<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/digg.com\/submit?phase=2&#038;url=http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/twitter\/skeet-a-new-twitter-client-for-chrome.html&#038;title=Skeet%20%20A%20New%20Twitter%20Client%20for%20Google%20Chrome\" rel=\"bookmark\" >Digg This<\/a> |<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.reddit.com\/submit?url=http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/twitter\/skeet-a-new-twitter-client-for-chrome.html&#038;title=Skeet%20%20A%20New%20Twitter%20Client%20for%20Google%20Chrome\" rel=\"bookmark\" >Reddit This<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div><strong style=\"font-size:11px;\">TAGS:<\/strong> <span style=\"text-transform:uppercase;font-size:11px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tag\/freeware\" rel=\"tag\">Freeware<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tag\/google-chrome-extensions\" rel=\"tag\">Google Chrome Extensions<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tag\/open-source\" rel=\"tag\">Open Source<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tag\/twitter\" rel=\"tag\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tag\/twitter-tools\" rel=\"tag\">Twitter Tools<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<\/small><\/div>\n<div style=\"background:#E1E1E1; border: dotted 1px; padding:5px; margin-top:5px;font-size:11px\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/twitter\/skeet-a-new-twitter-client-for-chrome.html\" title=\"Skeet \u2013 A New Twitter Client for Google Chrome\">Skeet \u2013 A New Twitter Client for Google Chrome<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\" title=\"Techie Buzz\">Techie Buzz<\/a> written by Clif Sipe on Thursday 4th March 2010 10:30:00 PM.
