If you’ve been looking for a new way to enhance your Twitter web experience, we have the perfect tool for you today! We’re talking about Greasemonkey, a popular Firefox add-on that allows the use of small bits of Javascript to customize a webpage. Thanks to Greasemonkey, my Twitter experience from the web looks more like this:

  • Aw man, I found this post doing a backtype search, I would have credited it in my RWW post today on Troy's Twitter script. I should have known you found it 3 days ago!

    Updated my post with credit.
  • Thanks Phil. I appreciate the credit update :)
  • Nice list.

    I have a lighter weight version of "Retweet This" as well:

    Lots of good, creative stuff on Userscripts.org - could spend hours there.

  • Safari users can also download GreaseKit, which is more or less compatible with Greasemonkey. It's Mac-only though; sorry to those Safari users on Windows and iPhones.
  • Thanks for the tip about that Colin.

    I like Endless Tweets and Twitter Fantastico. Troy's Twitter Script is kinda buggy.
  • Ed
    My favorite is Endless Tweets: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/24398

    It loads the next page as you scroll down, marks your last read tweet, "in reply to" tweets are loaded inline when you click, among other things.
  • I really like http://tweetree.com/ It has some of the same ideas, but no scripts necessary. good for when you're on a shared or public computer.
  • Pratik
    I use Ubiquity it lets you update your status from where you are with a quick command and does 100's of other stuff! http://labs.mozilla.com/2008/08/introducing-ubi...
  • I'm currently using Troy's Twitter Script and it does enhance Twitter web greatly.
