Do you ever click on the little Twitter definitions located right below your profile pic? I did today, and I got introduced to Brizzly, a cute little app (who doesn't love a a cartoon bear in a Twitter suit!) that combines Facebook and Twitter so you can toggle back and forth between the two.
Besides reducing your open windows by at least one, Brizzly has some other cool features that make it worth checking out. For one, you see entire URLs in your Twitter posts, rather than the shortened ones people use to stay below the 140 character limit. This is cool because it gives you a little better idea what you're clicking on and if indeed you really want to go there.
Photos and videos are viewable inline on Brizzly too, so there's no need to jump to another Twitpic window, etc. If you're like me and like to keep you open tabs down to a reasonable number, this is bound to be a feature you'll like.
One last cool Brizzly feature -- it has a direct message box that shows both parties IMs just like regular texting. I guess this means you can close your IM window too, as long as the person you want to text also happens to be on Brizzly ...
