I don't think it's borked... but a quick google will show that I'm not
the only one who's twitter will not work with at least 3.0.10 FF.  It's
ok though, identi.ca seems to be the better choice anyhow.  Leave
twitter for the Miley Cyrus and the Jo Bros....

If twitter works for you, I guess that's ok, I'm just telling you
it doesn't work for a significant portion of people.... and since it's
poorly written, and only wants to work with MSIE, I don't think they're
interested in trying to fix anything.
