Summary This handy plugin makes issuing Tweets of Fury challenges to your fellow Twitterers a snap.

Is someone you know on Twitter cruisin' for a bruisin'? Fortunately, the developers over at Viget Labs have too much free time on their hands. They recently released Tweets of Fury, a cute application which allows you issue challenges over Twitter that are resolved by a best-of-three rock-paper-scissors duel on the ToF side.

Prior to the battle, each side writes an embarrassing message which their opponent will be forced to tweet if they prove victorious. The winner gets their message tweeted by their opponent, thus ensuring public humiliation and a fortnight of roundly deserved scorn from the community.

TweetFastTweetFurious is a Firefox Greasemonkey plugin that makes it much quicker to issue these challenges directly to your opponents. A special action link will be revealed when you mouse over any person's status from your main feed, which you can then click to issue a Tweets of Fury challenge.

Mouse over any status to issue a Tweets Of Fury challenge to impudent scoundrels.

Assuming you've already logged into Tweets of Fury and have given the application permission to access Twitter on your behalf, you'll be spared the incredibly taxing step of remembering who you just challenged and having to type in their name. Instead, once you click the challenge link, you'll be taken to the New Battle screen, which will be prepopulated for you with the challenged Twitterer's name.

So what are you waiting for? Get out there and go all Aaron Burr on your foes. Download TFTF here.
