Bookmarklet: BigTweet
BigTweet - BigTweet installs as a bookmarklet and allows you to post to Twitter from any web page.
Features:
- login with Twitter credentials
- choose 140 or 240 characters for length of tweet
- shorten URLs using Bit.ly API
- insert special Unicode characters
The Good:
Big Tweet is a great way to create a tweet about web pages that you visit. It is an easy-to-use widget with many features: choose a classic 140 character update, or a 240 character tweet; Insert special Unicode characters and shorten URLs with the Bit.ly API right from the bookmarklet window and automatically capture the current page title, URL and any highlighted text. No registration is required - only Twitter login credentials are needed.
The Not-so-Good:
Big Tweet is a brilliant little widget. In the past, the only odd thing we encountered was that, on occasion, the widget would get “buried” under some graphics on a few websites. That could have been a Firefox thing; we’re not sure. It didn’t happen very often, and appears to have been fixed, so we can’t really complain too much.
Tweetwave.com rates it: ★★★★

Thanks for your nice review of BigTweet!
I just recently fixed the issue you mentioned with BigTweet getting hidden underneath some videos, etc. To see the fix, all you need to do is empty your browser cache. BigTweet is now YouTube friendly …
