Once you install the extension, simply ignore the negative counter, right click anywhere on the page and click 'Twitzer Text". Your text is shortened and an extension link is created. If the one viewing the post also has the extension, the user simply has to right-click and say "De-Twitzer text" to view in the same place. Be careful with this one though; people don't like to read long boring lectures via twitter.
