Now, the same creators, have developed an extension for a variety of browsers that lets you post to Google and Twitter at the same time. Google+Tweet allows you to share on both social networks at the same time so as not to lose out on your audiences between the two.
The Google+Tweet extension not only lets you post on Twitter, but it also lets you view your timeline to stay in the loop to what is going on there while on Google+.
