Palo Alto, CA (PRWEB) October 25, 2009 -- lu.ly (http://lu.ly) today launched a browser extension that brings real-time facebook and twitter updates into users' browsers. lu.ly is the first cross-browser extension (supporting Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari) that lets users see their friends' twitter and facebook status updates via scrolling text within the browser, as those updates happen. In addition to viewing friends' activities, lu.ly enables users to update their own facebook status or tweet, no matter where they are on the web.

Today over 400M users worldwide visit facebook and twitter to see their friends' activities. The growth in popularity of the real-time web has proven that it's no longer enough to get information periodically, but users want updates as they happen. lu.ly helps meet this demand, by providing friend updates to users in real-time, wherever users are on the web.

lu.ly key user features include:

* Get facebook friends' updates and new tweets in real-time

* Update facebook status and tweet

* Shorten and share URL's (using the lu.ly domain)

* Reply, retweet and privately message

lu.ly also has a publisher program (http://lu.ly/publishers) where any website can have their own white-label browser extension that brings the site's twitter stream into users' browsers (does not require user to have a twitter account).
