Andrew M Andrew M hi, big thanks for such great plugin. really eager for 3.5 update.
Felipe S Felipe S Hey guys I'm having a bug. Just restarting the machine, the feature does not work, even enabled. There is no way to make it work, it's pure luck, sometimes Twitter launches with it, most of times not. Can you help me? Firefox 3.0.11. Thanks, divera@gmail.com.

Jeffrey S Jeffrey S Interesting what I am reading am a little unclear to the whole process fill in the gaps. Please Jeff
Tom M Tom M This is the most brilliant Twitter application available for web entrepreneurs. Only gripe is that my information is worth much, much more than $9.87/month.
David N David N Great product. I suppose you're working on a compatible version for Firefox 3.5.
Anuj S Anuj S Nice app. I've added this to Twitdom.com - The Twitter Applications Database; at http://twitdom.com/super-chirp/
Tim S Tim S So awesome, thank you for creating this!

Introducing Super Chirp and Paid Streams
I have been talking about a simple subscription platform for Twitter for 3 years now.

Incredibly, no one was listening, so we decided to just build it.

At 83 Degrees, we are no strangers to building businesses around "premium content." In 2002, we created the first large scale user generated content site that had a successful "freemium" model -- Webshots. At the time, the only other large content sites that made money with subscriptions were the WSJ Online and ESPN.com. We got close to 250,000 paying subscribers and learned a lot about the whole process.

Today, we are launching something called Super Chirp -- a system to enable the simplest form of paid content. It makes use of Twitter's social connections and distribution channels.

Two new words for the twitterverse:

chirp - a direct message sent via Twitter to a paying subscriber

subscriber - someone who pays a small monthly fee for chirps of information

The content, of course, is up to the publisher. Our hope is that Super Chirp will provide a means for people to quickly and easily enable pay-for information channels. These could be celebrity news updates, real-time data, or charitable micro-giving.

Internally, we are calling them "paid streams" -- if you have something to say that others might find valuable, then Super Chirp can let you try out your business premise.

All we did was connect the dots. The next part is up to you and others who can now start the process of building out a new portion of the paid Web.

Lisa K Lisa K What the heck happened to power twitter??? It used to work, now it is just the same as plain old twitter! What's the point??? I used to see everyone's replies without using a separate application. Now I can't. Why would you TAKE AWAY options like that??
John C John C From..."Kathy P To those that are saying it doesn't show up..." you are absolutely correct. I just installed Power Twitter, looked at your comment and you are right on. Thx!

Kathy P Kathy P To those that are saying it doesn't show up on Firefox. I thought I was having the same problem, then I noticed on my Twitter page, in small letters above the Word Twitter is the word "power" and where you update your content is now shows "add a photo" or "shorten a link". I think folks that Power Twitter works bedded within the Firefox browser window to interact Directly with Twitter on the twitter page itself.
Sandy M Sandy M yeah seriously what's up 83 degrees? No answers for customer support? we've downloaded it and then it disappears?
Nathaniel S Nathaniel S same comments. don't see a difference, no option to change functionality/setup.
Steve R Steve R Ditto as other comments... just installed... no options in the addon section, no toolbar icon, nothing, cant seem to see how it works, no change to twitter either... (Firefox 3.0.8 windows xp)
