We’re pleased to announce Snowl 0.2. This version of the messaging-in-the-browser experiment builds on the first release with an updated river view, a new stream view for keeping track of messages in a sidebar while you do other things, the ability to send tweets, and support for multiple Twitter accounts.

Warning: Snowl is in an early development stage with many bugs, and subsequent versions may include changes that break functionality and delete all your messages, making you start over from scratch.

Katryne & Fouad: Sorry about the problem. It was due to an incomplete locale. I have worked around the problem by disabling the French localization and updated the release with the fix, so if you reinstall it, it should work for you again (although in English). Hopefully the next version of the extension will have a complete French localization.
